No Turn Down On Mortgage Loans

How Interest Rate Changes Affect Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates depend on the interest rate the government charges to lend money to banks--the federal lending rate. Variable mortgage rates are often a fixed percentage above this "prime rate."
Long term and short term treasury bond rates also indicate the trend in long term (30 year fixed rate) and short term (e.g., 7 year fixed with balloon payment) mortgage rates.
If the 30 year treasury index is higher than the 5 year treasury index, the overall trend in interest rates are upward.
If the 30 year treasury index is lower than the 5 year treasury index, the overall trend in interest rates is downward.
What if interest rates are headed upward?
For a $100,000 loan, for every quarter point increase in a mortgage rate you will pay about $20.83 per month more in interest charges.
For a $100,000 mortgage, you will pay about $416.67 per month in interest if the mortgage rate is 5%. If the interest rate increases to 5.25%, you will pay about $437.50 per month in interest charges. That's an increase of $20.83.
So, if interest rate are increasing, there is increasing pressure to get a consolidation loan soon.
What if interest rates are headed downward?
On a $100,000 mortgage loan, every time the mortgage rate drops by a quarter point, you will save about $20.83 per month in interest charges.
Let's say you have $30,000 in credit card debt at 18%. This is costing you about $450 per month in interest charges.
Consolidating this $30,000 debt into a 5% mortgage would cost you $125 per month in interest. You would save ($450 - $125=) $325 per month in interest charges.
It would cost you $325 per month to wait for a better mortgage rate deal. This simply is not worth it.
After you get a consolidation loan, if mortgage rates continue to decline, you can always refinance you mortgage at a lower rate and get the benefit of lower interest payments.
It would still be smart to consolidate as soon as possible.

Refinance Your Home Mortgage

Take advantage of low mortgage rates.

Now you can lower your monthly payments, consolidate high-interest debt, and have cash to make home improvements.

When refinancing, you can choose to borrow enough to only pay off the mortgage balance you owe or, if you have enough home equity built up, you may also be able to borrow an additional amount in what is called "cash-out" refinancing.

This extra amount can come in handy if you are looking to pay off other debts such as auto loans or credit cards. However, you should evaluate a cash-out refinancing carefully.

Generally, when refinancing your home you look for a new loan with more favorable terms. You refinance if you want to pay off a higher interest rate loan with a lower interest rate loan. The new lender pays off the current lender and becomes the lien holder on your home.

If you have other debts and want to combine loan payments, you may decide to use a consolidation loan to refinance your mortgage. Advantages of a loan consolidation include:

-Lower monthly payments
- Paying off consumer debt
-Combining monthly payments

Turned Down for Credit?

If you have been turned down for credit, the lender is required to tell you the reason for the turn down.

Lenders will often describe in a letter the reason you were not approved. Sometimes the letter will tell you to contact them for that information.

Do not hesitate to ask them for a clear explanation of the reason for your rejection. They are required by law to tell you.

If the reason included details found in your credit report, you should find out which credit reporting agency they used. There are three major credit reporting agencies: , , and

You are entitled to get a free copy of your credit report from the agency that was used to deny you credit. You must request your free credit report within 60 days of your turn down.

If you find mistakes in your credit report you should document the error. That is, if there is a record of an unpaid debt on your credit report and you either paid the debt or the debt is not yours, you need to document that fact.

If you paid the debt you should try to get a statement from the store or company you paid. The statement should indicate that the debt was paid.

If the debt is not yours, you should seek proof of the debt from the store or company. Often, this will be in the form of a signed contract or a credit card slip. If the signature is not yours, you can then contest the debt with that store or company.

Once you have the documentation that the debt was paid or is not yours, you can mail copies of those documents to the credit reporting agency. They must investigate the items on your credit report and remove them if they are in error.

During this process you should record the dates and a brief overview of each conversation or letter you exchange with any group involved.

Contesting errors on your credit report can be a lengthy process. If you do not want to take the time to be personally involved, there are several alternatives.

Credit Report Scores - Computing Then Insufficient funds?

Your credit report scores are based on factors that appear in your credit reports:

Bill payment history (Good: on time and for the full amount)
Total outstanding debt (Good: non-mortgage loan payments less than 5% of gross income)
Types of debt (Good: mortgage, car loans, Bad: high credit card debt)
Length of credit history (Good: 3 or more years of on time payments)
Credit inqueries (Bad: many rejected applications)

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits certain factors from being used in determining your credit report score:

Personal details such as sex, marital status, age, race, national origin, or because you receive public assistance income
Sources of income such as regular alimony, child support, or separate maintenance payments

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act provides actions for you to take if suspect unauthorized factors are being used to deny you credit.
