While credit card companies may care about what happened before you filed for bankruptcy, many mortgage lenders are more interested in your recovery what youve done since your filing. It wont happen over night, but here are some tips and things to keep in mind when you inquire about a mortgage with a tarnished credit past:
Give explanations. No mortgage lender is going to ignore the fact that youve filed bankruptcy and he or she will likely want to know the cause of the filing. Your lender will be particularly interested in whether the same situation could happen again. Your chances of being qualified are much better if your bankruptcy was caused by a single event such as a loss of employment or a death in the family, than if it was the result of just spending too much.
If the bankruptcy resulted from a single event, it is important to show your lender paperwork describing the incident, such as the layoff notice or death certificate. You may also want to bring in court documents to indicate when the bankruptcy was filed.
Demonstrate good money habits now. Many people who file bankruptcy swear off credit ltogether, however, it is important to re-establish your credit rating. Get a secured credit card or take on some sort of loan furniture, a car or a major appliance to demonstrate that you are able to make timely payments. Make sure you are making other payments (utility bills, cell phone, etc.) on time as well. You won't turn things around in a year but your credit score will improve over time.
Dispute any credit report errors. Theres no need to add to your troubled credit history with errors on your credit report. Get a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, http://www.equifax.com; Experian, http://www.experian.com; and TransUnion, http://www.tuc.com. If you encounter any errors, inform the CRA in writing what information you believe to be inaccurate and request deletion or correction.
Shop around for a lender. There are many alternative lending sources also known as B and C lenders or subprime lenders that provide mortgage financing for someone with a damaged credit history who is considered a high risk borrower. These types of lenders reduce their risk in making loans by charging borrowers a higher interest rate and sometimes additional fees. In fact, many lenders have comeback loan programs for people recovering from bankruptcy that often include credit reports, credit counseling referrals and consumer education. You may also want to seek advice from a reputable mortgage broker who can review your situation and let you know what options exist.
