Problems with your credit rating can lead to all sorts of other difficulties when it comes to borrowing money.  Any traditional lender will simply not give money to people who have had credit problems in the past.  The credit check sounds an alarm bell for the way they operate and you are seen as too great a risk for them.  Fortunately not all lenders operate the same way, so there are a few options for getting money quickly even if your credit is bad.

You will not be surprised to hear that there are few lenders out there who are either completely reckless or just plain stupid, so they do want to be pretty sure that you will pay back whatever they agree to lend you.  Lenders that are not interested in your credit report are only ignoring it because they have some other factors that they focus on in terms of covering their risk.

My fiance and I are purchasing our first home, rather, I should say SHE is buying our first home. As a result of bad decisions with credit cards about 5 years ago and my slow ability to repay back those credit cards, my credit score is garbage. She applied for a pre-approval through Bank of America and was pre-approved for $350,000. We found a home we love, placed a bid, it was accepted, and now begins the loan approval process. They are requestiong copies of two moths worth of Bank Statements. In order to pay rent, bills, and other living expenses, I am constantly transferring money into my Fiance’s accounts to help pay bills as well as for items related to our upcoming wedding. Also, in order to contribute to the downpayment, I sold a guitar of mine on craigslist for $4,700 and put that into our savings account. Our concern is that Bank of America is going to look at all of my deposits and begin to question why I’m putting money into her accounts, and where that money is coming from. I’d really hate to be the reason that this loan won’t be approved, and I’d pretty much hate myself a whole lot if I am the reason we can’t obtain this home.
