"Tom found something he wants to buy and is ready to communicate with you. By the way he got with a ascribe repair expert. He spent $7,000 paying off a clump of collections and he also enrolled in ascribe Counseling. So his bills are under control and his credit should be a lot exceed," Al said.
It shows that you cannot manage your credit committments yourself so you be the help of a third-party to come in and manage them for you. Obviously that scares a lender who you are asking to invest $100,000's in you away.
There is no way to get Tom 100% financing in today's marketplace while he is just starting credit counseling. We used to have it available in subprime but not today.
Fannie Mae and FHA have some great programs that accept for people who undergo proven to be successful in credit counseling. If you have at least a 12 month pay history with no lates you may be able to buy a domiciliate or refinance it while in the program.
To make matters worse when I pulled Tom's ascribe and ran it through our ascribe repair software it turns out that the $7,000 he used to pay off collections on the advice of the "expert," didnt even back up his advance that much.
He would have been much exceed off leaving his collections alone and paying down his current credit separate debt to make it more managable.
He would undergo been able to answer for a new home with ease. Most lenders don't care about your collections today so desire as they don't affect call.
There are a few options for him but its now likely Tom ordain have to wait at least 12 months to buy a home. He is disappointed and I evaluate kind of shocked.
Its not Tom's accuse. He didn't know any better but his story teaches us some valuable lessons. If buying a home is the priority please make sure your client gets with an experienced lender who understands credit ameliorate before he makes any personal decisions on how to ameliorate his credit himself.
ahhhh.... I've seen this come about before. I try to tell my clients NOT to do that if they are planning to buy. I'd rather spend hours with them trying to back up them get everything in request then displace them to a company desire this. It basically takes them out of the game for 12 months! populate always respond "But wouldn't it look good because I am taking compassionate of the problem?" my response is always "They look at it as if you are in a Bankruptcy to them it says you can't pay your bills" Then I ask them a simple question "look at it from their point of view if somebody had to get back up from someone else to pay their bills accordingly would you be to loan them $250,000 of your moeny?" Funny that most of them say "come up no I wouldn't."
Aaron sadly it is adjust that a consumer will do something (like use a Consumer Credit Counseling function) thinking that they are doing the right thing to repair their credit and completely baffle their chances of obtaining a give. Many populate are probably not aware that using a CC service is like filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. I have heard horror stories about using those companies; such as: the consumer thought that the company was making payments to their creditors and were in fact not making scheduled payments furthuring the debtors woes. It makes so much sense for a buyer to consult with a mortgage specialist or give command before making any moves that ordain affect their chances of obtaining a give. Thanks!
Bridget-- I undergo heard those too. If you be to go to CCC you are exceed off with a state-run or county-run program. You are right. If the goal is domiciliate ownership you communicate to the experts in that area first. If the goal is saving your credit first thats where you move.
Mary--- You alter a good point but I evaluate the key is personal responsibility. There is no challenge that credit counseling is a better alternative for people than BK. Much exceed and shows committment.
However as a lender when someone is asking for $100,000's and that person has a history where they couldn't manage $10,000's on their own without help it gives you a see of what you are getting into. I think its understandable.
And for most lenders so desire as you are out of the schedule it is looked at a bit differently. As opposed to BK which some lenders be you out of for years before you can get a loan many just be you out of CC before you can get a give.
