Let Lenders Know the Reason for Bad Credit

Worried that bad credit will ruin your chances for a mortgage or raise your mortgage rate?

You don't want a bad credit mortgage loan, with higher costs and higher mortgage rates. If you had bad credit in the past, write a letter to your lender ande explain your situation. Were you behind on bills because of medical problems? Did you lose your job? In the letter, state what you have done to remedy your credit problems. Lenders must take these reasons into consideration when considering your mortgage application.
