Any information regarding the payment history, performance, or resolution of a debt that is reportable to a credit reporting agency can only be reported for parties who obtained the debt. This means you would only see reporting on under your name if you co-signed for the mortgage loan that defaulted.
The actual foreclosure action on a home does not report to a credit agency any more than the sale of one does. What reports as "foreclosed" is the mortgage loan that did the foreclosing. This will only be reported on the credit for those who signed for and obtained the debt under which the home was foreclosed.
For example; if you own a home that is paid off and for which you carry no loans, you fail to pay the taxes, and the county "forecloses" by selling your home at a tax sale, you will not have a foreclosure reported on your credit report.
