if you are going with a fannie mae/freddie mac lender, the likelihood is that you can ignore that collection account (unless they have judgment against you).

you ought to be able to eliminate the collection account, if it is invalid, by yourself. your description confuses me, however. if you simply "disagree" with the collection, that isnt usually quite the same as it being invalid.

Welcome to the forum boatguy1,

I do agree with George mainly. You very well may not have to pay the collection account unless they have a judgment against you. Some lenders also do require larger collections, even if no judgment has been filed.

If you could please provide us with more information on the collection - age of the collection and amount specifically, we might be able to provide a better answer.
