Alana-

You don't need a 620 score for a VA loan. Credit score minimums are imposed from lender to lender. I can qualify your loan as long as the credit score is at least 550, not 620. As far a credit score is concerned, you have cleared the first hurdle to qualifying for your new mortgage.

If I can be of any assistance to helping you qualify, please let me know.

VA is basically now at 620. I sugget going to http://www.annualcreditreport.com and go line by line and dispute anything that is wrong. This is 100% free and you don't have to sign up for anything. It is a free site from the government!

Once you've done that, within 30 days any issues will be clear and you should be able to buy.

I will run the credit scores for you for free in 45 days from when you do the above website cleanup!
