My credit score is a 630 due to medical co-pays that were not billed correctly. One is being corrected & reported as paid, one is going to be disputed due to the hospital not billing properly, and the third will be paid off. The totals of each are $999-was paid back in Nov and never reported as such, $200-$100 of which is going to be corrected due to the hospital not billing it right, and $50-which I need to still investigate. I'm on federal disability, so I get a monthly check of $1300+. I'm married, but I want to buy this home on my own. I'm not on the latest mortgage on our home due to my score. Last summer my mom passed and I inherited a good sum of money, both liquid and retirement funds. I plan on putting 20% cash down. What do you think my chances of getting a mortgage are? Thank you in advance.
Hi Shelebelly,
With a credit score of 630, you may be able to qualify for a FHA loan. But when you apply for the loan, your lender will ask you to pay off the delinquent bills and clear them off. Once you clear them off, your credit will also improve and you will get better opportunities to qualify for a loan.

Yes, you should have low debt-to-income ratio in order to qualify for an affordable mortgage loan.
There's nothing wrong with 620, as long as you use a Lender that does't have any FICO score overlays.
Thank you very much for your answers.
