FHA Collection Accounts

FHA Collection Accounts

FHA starting in April 2012 FHA has changed it's collection account guidelines. Going forward all collection accounts within the last two years must be paid off.

All collection accounts totaling over $1,000.00 must be paid off. Collection accounts that total less than $1,000.00 and are over two years old may not have to be paid off.

If you have collection accounts that are not paid off - FHA allows you to set up a payment arrangement to qualify for a loan. By setting up a payment arrangement FHA will allow you to make three on time monthly payments to qualify for a FHA loan.

Minimum Credit Score
