If you did not you might be able to fight the banks and credit report companies. However, if you did sign the mortgage you will have to wait to purchase a house and your credit score will be hit 200-300 points.

I recommend you visit a reputable lender in your area, explain your situation and ask that lender to confirm. Additionally, ask the lender for expert advice on what you can do to improve your credit the most and assure you will be able to obtain financing again as soon as possible.Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:32:41 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-48170-308929/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-48170-308929/good morning.......yes, but the seasoning requirement is three years from the date of the sheriff's sale with re-established credit to go fha.... if you rent in the meantime, pay by either check or money order and keep copies of the front and back of checks or copies of your money order payments..best regards.....bob mcclure- success mortgage partners- plymouth, michigan...Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:54:49 -0700
