Like 0 Dislike 0 I will be closing my mortgage next week… My lender has asked me to give a letter at closing stating that we have not obtained any new debt. If he do so, won’t he be pulling our credit again? _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

It is always better that you don't take out any new debt just prior to the closing of your mortgage. Thanks, Jerry

Keep your credit as stagnant as possible prior to closing on a mortgage. You don't want anything to mess up the situation right before you sign the closing documents. Unfortunately, it happens a lot these days. _________________ Creditnet.com: Compare the best credit cards and apply securely online.

Many lenders, not all, get a new certdit report within ten days of closing to see if there were any new INQUIRIES, the purpose being that INQUIRIES often mean credit was applied for. If there are any new inquiires, you would have to explain what they were for. If for any new loans, you would have to document the terms of the new loan. If your lender asked you for a letter, maybe they also get a new credit report and maybe they do not. We can not speak for your lender definitively either way. Ask your lender if they are also getting a new credit report in addition to the letter they requested. _________________ John Veenstra, Sr Mortgage Consultant Approved Funding Corp Licensed NJ NY CT PA 201-833-0123x278
