DESPERATE PLEASE HELP! 76 Point drop with no changes in report

Hi everyone,

 

I am in desperate need, I am about to close on a home and am desperate for some help or answers or guidance any and all of the above, PLEASE!!!

 

Two months a go the lender pulled my credit score, 674 was my middle score he pulled.  Today, two months later the score dropped by 76 points.  Nothing has changed, I don't he new inquiries, nor was I late on anything.  THe only change was that I lost a credit card last month and requested a new one from HSBC. 

 

Please help, what can I do, I am going to loose the loan :-(  I am desperate.

If your then-mid score dropped by 76 pts to 598, that doesn't necessarily mean that your mid-score is now 598. What was lower of the three scores?

 

Your lender pulled a FICO of 674. Where did you pull your new score from? Did the same lender pull it or did you get it from another source?

What did you pull that indicated your score is now 575?

Look more closely.  Something must have changed.  Provided you are making a comparison between the same scoring models, that is.  Did you get the 575 from your lender, or did you check the score yourself through someplace?


Starting Score: ~500 (12/01/2008)
Current Score: EQ 681 (04/05/13); TU 98 728 (01/06/12), TU 08? 760 (provided by Barclay 1/2/14), TU 04 728 (lender pull 01/12/12); EX 742 (lender pull 01/12/12)
Goal Score: 720
