Is there any way to get a mortgage with poor credit if you have stable income and the mortgage you are asking for is equal to your yearly income?

I paid $500 to have things removed from my credit that were not mine and it caused my rating to drop to zero, now I can't find a lender to buy the house I want..

Loans guaranteed by FHA usually have low or no FICO score requirements. Ask you lender if you can qualify for an FHA loan.

FIRST ANSWER

1) A zero rating would be odd especially if you had the report corrected. Get a free credit check from the government online site and review your report yourself. I am wondering if the items were actually removed. There are many scams out there offering to repair credit for a fee and essentially they do nothing.
2) Then go to your bank lender or other local reputable lender and have them help you correct the data and give you advice on what to do to bring up your credit rating..
3) If you are coming in with a relatively large % of down payment for the area you live in the owner may carry despite your credit rating. Or do you have something to offer for collaterial in addition?
4) If you have no money down....start a fund and pay yourself first each month (take it out of your casual money you typically spend on entertainment/clothes/etc not your rent money!
5) Having phony bills on your credit report removed should not be an issue....something else is keeping it from flying and you need to address that.
