Can I dispute credit reports right before applying for a mortgage?

Can I dispute credit reports right before applying for a mortgage? I'm about to send letters off then I thought I remembered reading somewhere you can't dispute things right before applying for a mortgage loan? Is that right? There's some incorrect things affecting my credit report, and some I want to question just to see if I can get them off my reports. One major thing is one credit card is showing I have a 0 credit limit and I have 12k, it's affecting my fico score of course as the debt ratio is wrong and it looks like I'm over...

for the most part, you can not have unresolved disputes on your fico report and get a loan approved.  All dipsutes must be fully resolved.

You aren't ready to buy if you are disputing.

Get those leared up first.

 

However, many do not need to dispute anyway..... depending on the loan program.
