I just got off the phone with them and I was told again that a PFD is not possible. I had previously written to them to request a PFD and was refused that request also. If I pay this in full how much damage will it do to my score at this point? Should I pay it or leave it? I want to purchase my first home in a few months and feel that FHA will require it to be paid but not sure if I should do it now or wait until it becomes a condition of the mortgage.

 

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance in this matter

Re: Need Advice

Settle it, its updated in late 2014 so the damage to your Fico has already been done. You are correct it will be required to report paid off in order to close on your new mortgage. Good luck Smiley Happy
