Credit repair advice to qualify for a mortgage.
July 27, 2010 · Posted in Improve Your Credit Score
My husband and I would like to buy a home but we are not sure we would qualify for a mortgage because our credit is not great. I contacted lending.com recently to find out what we can do to be ready in 6 to 9 months. They said that our credit score was less than 500 and there’s nothing they could do to help us. If we pay off the doctor bills that are on our credit report, would it raise our credit score? Does anyone know of any mortgage companies that handle high risk credit? Any advice on getting our credit score raised would be greatly appreciated!

Additional Information
You have to make pay-for-delete agreement with creditors/collection agencies on your credit report. You will pay them and they will remove derogatory info from your credit reports (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union). Make sure you get it in writing before you pay them. You would also need a downpayment and confirmation of your job/income. With previous bad credit history it appears that you need credit counselling course so that you can learn to live within a budget.
Paying your bills on time, as agreed without ever being late is the best way to raise your credit score. It takes time to raise it. It can’t be done overnight. Many months, maybe even years of a flawless record will raise it.
Many mortgage lenders take precautions while lending to applicants with poor credit score. Hence you will find most of your applications are rejected if your credit record is poor. If you want to apply for a mortgage, ask for the copy of your credit report. Go through it carefully to understand the factors that your lender will consider to approve your mortgage. Pay off all the unpaid debts before applying for the mortgage. Wait till you get the receipts of the debt paid or your lender confirms that the debt has been cleared.
If you’re having problems paying bills, it seems to me that a mortgage is probably not a great idea for you.
And the low credit score would seem to confirm that.
Credit scores usually reflect attitude. Fixing that begins in your head.
Not to burst your bubble or anything, but credit score is the last thing you need to worry about when your buying a home. You need to see how your d.t.i is looking first. D.T.I stands for debt to income ratio.
How much you make in a year as opposed to what you owe. I don’t know how much debt you have in medical bills, credit cards, or personal loans. I do know that if they turned you down, it’s probably a significant amount.
If your debt / income ratio IS bad, get yourself in a debt settlement program. You might be able to knock it out in a year.
the process of credit repair has become mandatory for everyone since a lot of credit card holders are now troubled with low scores.

It is next to impossible to get a loan with a credit score of less 600 right now, never mind 500. If you score is under 500, it shows you have a terrible history using credit, no offense.
