Another tool for eliminating bad credit is the use of bad credit credit cards. In the search for a bad credit credit card, the consumer needs to be aware of what’s available in the market so he can repair his credit rating, not make it worse. If one has had financial problems before, one should seek excellent financial advice before trying to borrow more.

Different types of credit such as credit cards allow consumers to easily manage their money. Credit is particularly useful during emergencies and when paying for huge expenses.

Can anyone share their experience with closing on a home with Wells Fargo. I am a first time home buyer with fair credit and income. The most challenging part for getting my loan preapproved was my DTI ratio was high since I have over 50K in student loans. I was suppose to close on my home Nov. 13th but my mortgage consultant at Wells explained that the company was in the process of reorganizing their underwriting/processing department and I would be closing the following friday, Nov. 20. Well here we go, it is now Nov. 24 and we have extended it again to Mon. Nov. 30. As of today, the consultant is telling me that after the underwriter reviewed my file they calculated my DTI and was getting a ratio that was too high to approve. The mortgage consultant has since supplied them with additional information that was already in my file BUT was overlooked and now we are awaiting a second review. This new or overlooked information resulted in my DTI being lowered to approval standards. I have to vacate my current residence by Monday (as I put in notice to vacate 60 days ago when I entered into a contract on the house). I am also receiving downpayment assistance from the county the home is located and that money was ready for closing over two weeks ago. It seems that everything is ready to go but Wells Fargo is taking their time. I am trying to be patient but I don’t want to get denied at the last minute or worse, the seller back out because of the delays.

Im looking for someone that has a mortgage calculator(not one of the online ones that calculate monthly payments). My parents are looking to refinance their home, and they were told a 10 year loan at 4.25% would have a monthly payment of around 618.00. There’s one problem with this- the loan was supposed to be for 68k, but when I plugged the numbers into a mortgage calculator online, it said the monthly payments should be almost 700.00 a month. I used to be a loan officer and had a mortgage calculator that could calculate this, but no longer have one. So what I need someone to tell me is, giving the numbers my parents were quoted, how much would that loan be for? Supposedly this is a fixed rate mortgage too. Thanks in advance for your help.
Oops, that was a typo. Should be 4.625%, not 4.25

I would like to know if there is a way of getting a loan if you have less than perfect credit. In this day in time, we are all experiencing problems with the sub-prime mortgage rates, and I would like to know if that is possible.

We are engaged and would like to blend our families and lives. He owns a home and uses it as rental income. he has been preapproved for a second mortgage loan at 220k. He has good credit history, score of 750 and makes 70k. The house’s we like are about 280k. I have fair credit and only make 18k a year. I have a school loan I make payments on, My car will be paid off in 3 months and the bad debt is settled but still I have a low score of about 400. What can I do to help us get a house? Will anybody consider my income, and is my income enough to get the additional 60k loan we need for a home?

Want to clear up for possible home purchase. Is there anything can be done? It is about my daughter’s husband a week after the wedding. He has recovered more than they thought but this one bill has really played havoc and tripled when it should have been covered but he wasn’t told about it until 1 year ago. And after several calls thought it was dealt with only to find out in May it was still there. Is a mortgage possible? W/o outrageous interest. everything else is good but that bill could keeep them from owning a house. Doesn’t seem fair does it? My daughter works full time+ and he is a stay at home dad. Can’t drive. Surgery saved his life but caused nerve damage on the right side. Vision, speech, balance etc. Can anyone offer any solutions? or advice. Thanks

US insurance giant AIG raced against the clock to avert collapse Tuesday after three blows to its credit standing, and central banks pumped out 160 billion dollars to prop up financial markets.

AIG was at risk of following Lehman Brothers into bankruptcy despite approval for it to borrow 20 billion dollars and as report said the Federal Reserve had asked two banks to help provide 70-75 billion dollars.

Markets, investors and savers around the world focused on AIG to see if it would be the next failure in the firestorm from the shocks on Wall Street on Monday, when another investment bank Merrill Lynch was bought out of trouble by Bank of America.

The mortgage company said they would give me a 7% interest rate, not bad considering my credit is shot. So I punch that into a amortization calculator and get a payment on a $75,000 house at $498.98. Yet, the broker said my payment would be about $705. What else are they figuring in to the payment?
What formula or numbers are the lenders using to give me the rough number? How can I figure the taxes, insurance, etc cost myself so I can get a better number on paper to build my budget around?
