Collection accounts - FHA does not require collection-accounts to be paid off as a condition of mortgage approval. However, FHA does recognize that collection efforts by the creditor for unpaid collections could affect the borrower’s ability to repay the mortgage.

  • If evidence of a payment arrangement is not available, the lender must calculate the monthly payment using 5% of the outstanding balance of each collection, and include the monthly payment in the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

Medical collections - Medical collections do not need to be paid for an FHA loan approval. FHA does not take medical collections into consideration. FHA does not require medical collection accounts to be paid off as a condition of mortgage approval and does not include them in your debt-to-income ratio.
