Refinancing Home Mortgage
In: Mortgage Lenders
21 May 2010My husband and I recently were approved for a mortgage and were buying a home(short-sale). It ended up taking over 100 days and we walked away from the property. We have had to start all over and now we have to have a credit score of 620 instead of 580. We have nothing on our credit except for a credit card of 500.00 it had a balance but we just paid it off. There is nothing else on our credit report that would affect us in a negative way. How long will it take for our score to go up since the cc was paid off. And are there any lenders dealing with lack of credit, rather than bad credit? Our card has never been late and all our bills are paid on time.
Oh, my husband pay child support always current, comes out of his pay check before taxes. Does that affect the debt to income ratio?
This is about mortgage information questions.

Not very likely.Most lenders will not accept FICO scores below 620 points. With a 620 FICO, expect to pay an additional 3 points (3%) to obtain a mortgage. You might have better luck with a mortgage broker instead of a large bank. But do your homework. Get yourself copies of Personal Finance for Dummies and Home Buying for Dummies from your local library or bookseller. Both contain a lot of information for first-time buyers.
Good luck!

Once your credit card balance reflex paid on your credit report it may raise your FICO score, however the lender/broker may be running your credit report which will lower your score. Don’t apply for any credit anytime soon.

No, you have something else there. The situation you describe would have your credit at about 700, not 592. You have to work to get credit that low.
