So confuse not sure where to start

Hi this is my first post My husband and I are going to try to buy a house this summer His credit score is 621 EQ. I need to clean up his report but not sure where to start and how to do it. It is just confusing me So anyone that can give me advise and point me in the right direction would be great I just don't want to make his score go down by doing the wrong thing Here are the bad things on his report ( I also made some notes of some things)  The good things on his report ar a mortgage open 1987 closed 2002 it says paid/closed/never late and a car loan open may 2009 never late Sorry for it being so long Do you think we have a chance of getting a House?

Re: So confuse not sure where to start

Welcome to the forums,

 

Do you have the money to pay off some or all of the debts?

Are both of you working? If so, did you work for the same company for the last 2yrs?

 

Where did you get the EQ score? and is it a FICO score?

 

Mortgage lenders will look at your middle score. Do you know what your scores are?

No we both don't work only my Husband does He made abbout 90,000 last year he has been at the same job for 8 years and in the same field for 20+ years. I got The score from this site.I am going to get the other one TU tonight to see where we are there I do have some money to pay stuff of but I think with the CA I might do a  debt validation letter but not sure if that is a good idea or not.
