Hamm Wed, 04 May 2011 03:30:35 +0000 http://fightcredit.com/?p=485#comment-8668 I'm also as the first indiviual, trying to pre-qualify for a home mortgage loan, and I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2007. The underwriter wanted a letter to explain the bankruptcy and I gave it to her. My conditions were; I started a job with DOD, just finishing off orders with the military. An old debt attacked me from almost 19 years ago. Basically, I was in college and picked got approve for a credit card. The collection agency started the garnish my pay check at 25% of my earnings. In the past, it was just me. Now, I'm married (spouse is a homemaker) with 3 children. The debt accummulated from $2,600.00 to over $19,000.00. I made over 1,400.00 after taxes. We just signed on to a lease of a lesser rent then the last apartment. It seems what I given the underwriter isn't acceptable to the lender. Is there a better way of writing it? Thanks for whatever suggestion(s) you may have. NDH... I’m also as the first indiviual, trying to pre-qualify for a home mortgage loan, and I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2007.

Good job on getting the bankruptcy removed from two credit reports. You may find this article helpful in getting it removed from the third: http://www.fightcredit.com/how-to-remove-a-judgement-from-credit-report/ Hi Felicia, the letter is more for any lenders you may encounter when a bankruptcy is still showing on one of your credit reports.

What terminology do you use, when asking a reporting agency to remove the listing. I know they have the right to show it listed for 10 years, but they will remove it if you ask.
