Hello,Due to irresponsibility when I was younger, my credit is pretty bad. I've been working to fix it for the last two years and as of now, I have ZERO past due debt (all accounts show 0 balances), a car loan that has been current for 2+ years (only 4 payments left), and a consolidated student loan that has never been late. No credit cards or other revolving debt. All this comes together for an Equifax/FICO score of 608. I make $77K/year and will have $30K to put down on a $195-220K home. I am married, but my husband won't be on the loan. I would like to purchase within the next six months.Is this possible???? Thank you in advance! by redhed_603_343 from Abq, New Mexico. Oct 21st 2011
Get a credit card. That will bring your score up. Use it once, pay your car payment with it, pay the electric bill with it, buy groceries. Pay It off and don't use it again until after you get a mortgage.
I recommend to my customers the Account Now Visa, it is the perfect alternative to a checking account! Build your credit score, no credit check, no overdraft fees, no bounced checks.

In mortgage lending we use the midle fico score. Just because your Equifax score is a 608 does not mean you would not qualify. We need to pull a tri-merge credit report to find out what Experian & Transunion are reporting. I provide free pre-approvals and a free copy of your tri-merge credit report. Respond back to me and I would be happy to help you. ENG Lending, A Division of Bank of England, always puts your best interest first. We would appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
