My FICO score is 630. I have credit card debt of 70K. Mine used to be 690 couple months ago(50k debt). I had to take money for personal investment(95% of credit line used).
I was thinking of buying an house(340k). What would you guys suggest? Will I get a mortgage with this score?
Wait until my score improves? I was thinking of paying off 90% of debt in 3-4 months.
Thanks

you can get FHA loan provided you are able to fulfill other specified conditions
I was shocked to find that my credit score was 630. I have no debt, have paid my bills regularly, and my gross income is about 8K/month.
On my credit report, I found that there was one derogatory transaction resulting in an unpaid credit card balance of $200, but resolved it. I was unaware of a charge (automatic charge) and it had accumulated 5 months of late fees.
I expected my score to be in the 700s. Would this bring my score down that much??

Hi TMan!
Welcome to forums!
Late fees for the the past 5 months can definitely affect your credit score. I would suggest you to pay off the late fees. This will help you in rebuilding your credit to some extent.

tman, there are lots of other factors that come into play in your score, of course. but lates over a protracted period of time that accumulate will certainly have quite an adverse effect. you ask "would this bring my score down that much?" i guess the answer is "yes." you'll want to review the other factors, which i presume you would have been provided when you received this score. there may be other things you can do to enhance your score at this time as well.
I had tried apply for a new car loan threw a bank I been with 12 yrs.
They rejected my loan. So I went to a local cedit union.
Right on spot they ran my fico score I'm a 730!
Was approved for the best rate offered. So maybe others should also try
Credit Unions over banks. Worst part was tho after bank ran my score
They wouldn't give me my information on the fico! Made me feel I had bad credit.

marla, if i did any more advertising for credit unions, they'd have to pay me! i worked at one formerly, and i firmly believe in the credit union movement. i'm not surprised at what happened with you; banks are not exactly what we might call "user-friendly" and credit unions are all member-based...so obvious why they're more likely to help someone.
my credit is 630 and i want to get a mortgage loan i have no debt and make about 40000 a year

Pouta, the extent of your medical bills could easily prevent you from qualifying for a mortgage. Are you in the process of repaying those bills? Are there judgments or collection accounts that appear on your credit report? You need to address these issues before you apply for a mortgage.
With a credit score of 630, you'll be able to qualify for a FHA loan. In order to get a conventional loan, you should have a credit score of 700-720. You can apply for a FHA loan of $500k and check out if the lenders will be ready to give you the loan.
