Fico EQ- 593
FAKO TU- 600
FAKO EXP-59Something
Two collections have been PFD'd but haven't showed up yet. Two First premier CC's with 250/300 cl respectively have been paid down to $5 balance but have a 90 day late as of October (personal issues and First premier won't GW). Applied for a Navy Fed CU cc and have a $1k and plan on keeping less than $100 balance on that every month. How much should my score bump up in the next 3-4 months? I have a auto loan with 19k left that I got Sept '11 and haven't been late once. Student loan is perfect, I pay 90 bucks a month on time every month.
I can't tell you how tired I am of apartment living and giving my money to someone else. There are a TON of houses here in Central FL that I can get my hands on for $150k or less and get at least 3-4 bed and over 1,600 sq ft. I make ~$52k/year plus bonus which has taken me to $67k this year alone. Good income, bad credit (for now), planning on going through Navy federal for a 30 yr loan. What are my chances?
I'd search the rebuilding forum and ask for FP contact info. Hopefully you can get some goodwill because a recent late is considered pretty bad.
With those scores I don't think its possible. Most LO most likely wouldn't even waste their time on you after pulling your credit. This is also compounded by the lates. I would say wait another 6 months to a year and see where your standing based on credit. Don't forget the closing costs and downpayment aspect of house buying either. I didnt see you mention any figures for cash you currently have on hand.
I think it's no lates for the last 12 months.
As for credit score increase that will be easier to do. My EQ score was at 599 on12/4/12 and as of yesterday it's at 649 and that's with a couple of lates in 2011 and 2009 thatI'm trying to get deleted, 1 collection unpaid that I'm trying to PFD and utl at 27% and will be at 9% by the end of Jan. I would research the rebuilding forum on here, there's tons of info and lots of helpful people who can help you there. Good luck.
Don't let anyone discourage you. We are already through final UW (as of this week) with approval on a 240K loan, FHA at 4% interest and 3.5% down and we close in two weeks (only because they thought the appraisal would take way longer than it did). We had a 613 midscore when we got preapproval (629 now). Find a lender that takes a 580, you will have to do a lot of seraching but smaller, local banks will work with you.
That 90 day late will keep you from getting an approval, as you can't have lates in the last year. You need to GW until they remove it. Don't stop trying, and write to people high up at the company. Do a search in this site for the GW contact info. Do not make any more errors, and get that util down and keep it down. Keep pluggin away. I came to this site 5 months ago with scores in the 400s and I followed all of the advice and gained 150+ points from my work even when some said it wasn't possible. You can do it too. Best of luck and don't give up.
Just checked my scores from Transunions credit monitoring service and my mid score there is 614, with 629 and 621 being my other scores. How far are FAKO scores usually off from the truth?
i want a house too,, but my chances are looking slim..

There is no rhyme or reason to the difference between FAKO & FICO. They are different scoring models altogether. The FAKOs are more for educational purposes. U'll need to get ur FICO score to know where u stand.
Editted to say : Good luck!
So people pay $15-$30/month for EDUCATIONAL SCORES? How is this not a scam?
