I make $90kyr I have 30%down on a $195000 home , I have a 540 credit score. My credit report has fraud on it, I need a mort. ASAP

Finding a lender to go below 600-620 is going to be difficult even with your income or your down payment. I would suggest contacting the 3 Credit Reporting Agencies and asking how to protest and remove fraud. It can take some time. Or you could contact a company like 360 Credit who helps people work with the Reporting Agencies and get it resolved. If you have any more questions I can be reached directly at 316-206-3158.

Contact the 3 credit bureaus now!!! My website has more information on correcting credit errors, http://www.melissastutes.com/credit-errors.html. This will take time as you will need to submit information to them and they will have to investigate the matter. Until then...you may want to see if a small local lender will service your loan request using a portfolio loan product. This is when the lender keeps your loan to service it instead of selling it after consummation. Since they aren't selling the loan and will service it, they may provide more leniency. Best of luck!!!

Gather hard copy proof that the derogatory credit items are not yours. Typically a letter from the individual creditor. Sometimes the credit reporting company can do a credit rescore to get the score higher. However, any OPEN, disputed credit items with any of the credit agencies are not factored into your credit score and may "inflate" your score. We have a mortgage program for a middle credit score of 550, 10% down payment. No lates in past 12 months on mortgage payment.
