Thanks for your post Sherrie.
I am a loan officer and I can help.

Here is the solution:
Like we clean our home we also need to clean our financial home. So the first thing you need to do is get a tri-merge credit report to find out just where she stands. You need the tri-merge since all credit bureaus are not alike.

Then you need to review the report for accuracy.

Third, dispute incorrect items. I do not care what folks tell you, NO ONE CAN LEGALLY REMOVE ACCURATE NEGATIVE ITEMS. While many will get them off for a month or so, they always pop back on.

All judgments need paid or have payment arraignments. Collections may need paid. Most times medical are ignored. If the last activity was more than two years ago LEAVE IT ALONE.

Your daughter will (most likely) have to document income for at least two years.

FHA (and other programs) are available for folks that demonstrate the ability and willingness to pay bills. I can go on and on but I don't have enough information. Drop me a email or give me a call at 317-714-8080. I serve the entire state of Indiana (along with the other 49) and I can give you more advise.

Kind regards,
Tony Grego

FIRST ANSWER

If your daughter has a bad credit score, there is not a whole lot that can be done about that these days, according to what I have been told by the lenders and mortgage brokers I work with. If she has a low score, she should try to get her credit cleaned up as much as possible. I would also suggest that she contact the non profit Consumer Credit Counseling Service that has several offices in the Fort Wayne area. This is the link: http://www.financialhope.org/ They do not charge a fee for their services and they may be able to help her.
Good luck!
