🚨💳 THINKING ABOUT DISPUTING SOMETHING ON YOUR CREDIT REPORT BEFORE APPLYING FOR A MORTGAGE? READ THIS FIRST!
Finding inaccurate information on your credit report can be frustrating, and you absolutely have the right to dispute errors.
But here's something many future homebuyers don't realize…
An active credit dispute can sometimes create complications during the mortgage process! 👀
Depending on the loan program, type of account, and circumstances, unresolved disputes may require additional review or action before your loan can move forward.
🔑 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
✅ Review your credit reports early.
✅ Dispute information that's genuinely inaccurate.
✅ Keep documentation of your disputes and their results.
✅ Let your loan officer know about any active disputes.
✅ Avoid making last-minute credit changes without discussing the potential mortgage impact.
IMPORTANT: You don't need to leave inaccurate information on your credit report. The goal is to correct errors while understanding how the timing of a dispute may affect your mortgage application.
THE TAKEAWAY?
Credit preparation isn't just about increasing your score. It's also about making sure your credit profile is accurate and ready for underwriting.
