Congrats! I am here researching for that very purpose. We hope to obtain a VA loan by next fall. They will use his score since he is the veteran...right? I would be very interested to know what you focused on in the rebuild/clean up process. Great job moving your scores so much.
Hello,
I will be trying for a VA loan close to the end of the year. I was wondering if they only look at the midscore report or if they merge all the information positive and negative on all reports? Just trying to get a head start on what to expect.
One last thing, did you have any negative items remaining when you applied?
Best of luck to you. Happy house hunting!
Our LO used our mid scores. I have two collections both of which are being reported incorrectly on one report. That was my lowest score so it didn't matter. I will, however have those accts removed before underwriting. Other than that all of my negative stuff is old and at a 0 balance.

They typically pull all three reports and use the middle score for qualifying. They'll want explanations for any baddies from any of the three reports though.
Thanks for the information! My mid score will be above 620 when I apply but I still have unpaid negative items on my report. I have an unpaid repo from 2009 that my ex was suppose to take over financial responsibility for per our divorce. I also have a charge off private student loan from 2007. Other than that I have been paying bills on time.
