Your credit score seems to be very poor but if you are looking for an FHA loan, then there's a possibility that you may qualify for it. This is because the FHA loans do not consider credit score as the primary criteria for loan qualification. Rather the FHA approved lenders would check your debt-to-income ratio which should somewhere around 29/41. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess
It's good Thompson that you disputed a lot of errors on your credit report. In fact, disputing such errors does help to clean up your report and improve your score.

I guess your score is not up to what the lenders offering FHA loans are expecting. Ok, so did you shop with some other lenders/ I mean those offering other mortgages, say Mycommunity mortgage or any low credit home loan? Just wondering why you wish to go for FHA. Is it because of the insurance coverage? Well, there are private insurance companies also. So, try shopping for some more time – its all about getting a home of your own, so a little more search definitely makes a difference. I hope you agree with me. _________________ Mortgage Shopping made easy with booklet

Cassie, Fha loans are possible with low scores like you have (461).
But they look at your credit history for the last 2 years. If you can provide good reason for the derogatory marks appearing on credit report then you are in with a chance.
At 23% you dti is well enough and within the required range. Fha loan don't require perfect credit, so I am not sure why your fha loan officer said you are being denied because of your credit score. Read some of the details about FHA loans from - http://www.fha.gov/buyer/loans.cfm
You are speaking to the wrong type of FHA originator---there are two types of underwriting approaches used in originating FHA loans---automated (these are the types you are speaking to) and manual...
I have been successful funding manually underwritten FHA loans with scores as low as 400---it appears that despite your score, you have some compensating factors that would make this a fit for some of the programs that I offer.
