sorry, dante, but i don't know what a consumer score is, and it certainly won't relate to what a mortgage lender needs. do you have credit at all?

Welcome auty,

You will not have to average the credit scores. You can simply read out the 3 individual scores as given to you by the bureaus.

the score that is used in qualifying is the middle of the three scores. that is, if you had scores of 750, 700 and 650, your middle score is 700. throw out the high and the low - that's the standard.

and if there are 2 borrowers the lender will use the lower of the 2 middle scores.
husband 700 750 650 (700 is middle)
wife 800 750 700 (750 is middle)

the lender will use 700 since that is the lower of the two scores (700,750)

yes, if you have made serious inroads into balances, and if you've eliminated any collections/charge offs, etc. i don't think you'll find huge increases in such a short time, but the likelihood is that you'll see better as long as you've taken care of business and made progress.

I have seen points increase as much as 90 points in 2weeks

You can't do this with regular credit history
You used to be able to when someone added you to their credit card but that doesnt happen anymore
The only way you can do that is by credit repair.
For example..
If you had a collection on your credit report....and it brought down your score by 50 points...then you had it removed.....then your score should go back up by 50 points. Now imagine removing multilple negative items

It's important...they look at the score among other things. You should have someone look at your credit to see if there's anything that can be fixed. Income is also a factor
