Re: Getting to 620...

I have just read through the entire story & I am very inspired to work towards owning a home. I am just starting out on repairing my credit & hope to start the house hunting at the end/beginning of next year!!! Thanks for the post.

Re: Getting to 620...

Golo... I am sssooo sorry... I just seen where you asked our situation...

Bottom line (without trying to hijack the tread) is: My husband had ALOT of issues with his credit... Our landlord had called and said him and his wife got a divorce and she got the house in the divorce and she wanted to move back into it... Know that I NEVER want to be in this position again, I started looking at my husbands credit/credit score I knew there were things that could be fixed easy Tax liens that have been paid for years but never cleared with the credit agencies... Well, I took the 1st 30 days to get the things fixed I knew I could get done right away... Started out with scores in the low/middle 500's... Once I had the scores at 647, 604 & 604 I started reading this tread.. I seen where in the beginning she said she was stumped and asked if anyone could give her names as to where to start... I seen where someone said to call WF.. Knowing we had a WF here in town I just called and asked what was the required score for a VA Home Loan... They told me 600... So we have now started the process....So far ALOT of sleepless nights and flusterating days... But, with the help of this board and things I have seen others go thru.. I really think that eventually we will get there... Had a minor set back last week when we found out one of the 30 day lates that was removed somehow just showed back up, but, the loan company wrote a letter stating it is an error... Now we are waiting on the re-score of that then we will hopefully go back to underwriting early this week... I've been updating in "Waiting for underwriting"

Re: Getting to 620...

I know this is an old post, but I just read it and I feel so inspired. I have been workign on raising our credit to buy a home. Paid off all old collections die to job loss, got secured credit cards, etc. Now it is just a matter of time. We were hoping to start house hunting in September, but I am worried that our credit won't be at 640 yet (that is what our LO is requiring). Would you mind sharing your LO's info?
