My associate at GCA Mortgage Group, Wendy Lahn, recommended this  DIY credit repair program. I need to handle some issues with my Discover Credit Card, and I signed up for this DIY credit repair service. I will keep you posted. I will be disputing fraudulent credit card charges. I trust Wendy Lahn’s recommendations and am confident I will benefit greatly.

Here is my story about my experience with Discover and the disputes I have been going through. Advise our viewers on this type of case situation if any of you run into it. Very time-consuming, stressful, and a total waste of time for me and my staff. I will start with the scenario of what has transpired from day one:

I am Gustan Cho Associates’s branch manager, a dba of NEXA Mortgage, LLC. We are a national mortgage lender licensed in 48 states, including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. I am the manager of operations, support staff, and loan origination for the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, Branch NMLS 2315275 located at 17W662 Butterfield Road, Suite 305, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. The Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, Branch is licensed in 48 states, including DC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. We are the largest producing branch at NEXA Mortgage in production and have a lot of monthly expenses. I have two different types of credit cards to pay my monthly debts. Under no circumstances do I ever use my personal credit card for business related expenses. I mainly use my Discover credit card for my personal expenses. My personal expenses include anything that is not business related that cannot be written off from my income taxes. If you can review my Discover card statements for the past three years, you can see that only personal expenses such as fuel, groceries, shopping dog food and other merchandise for personal use from AMAZON, personal homeowners insurance. Now Discover is saying that I am responsible for payment even though it was not authorized for concurring charges on my Discover. Anyone had things like this happen? I will update you on the progress.

NEXA Mortgage issues us a corporate credit card from US Bank to pay all our branch expenses about the business. We are only allowed to charge business expenses. Any business expenses is charged to US Bank corporate business credit card. Business expenses includes rent, advertising expenses such as (YLOPO, RAVEN, ZILLOW, GOOGLE LEADS) expenses for leads, marketing, printing, co-marketing expenses with realtor partners, business lunches, travel, licensing, training and education, and any other direct and/or third-party business-related expenses. I have always use any business-related expenses on my corporate US Bank Visa card for business expenses and never my personal credit cards.

Should You Cancel Credit Cards Before Applying for a Mortgage?  Is this a good idea? OR, is it better to just pay them down?

Who Reports Bankruptcies to the Credit Bureaus?  How and why do bankruptcies show up on the credit report? Why is it that sometimes they do not show up?

Credit Karma is not accurate for mortgage credit scores but it is a great indicator. If Credit Karma is high, so will your mortgage credit scores. The mortgage credit scores are generally lower than Credit Karma.Creidt Karma is easy to use and you get Transunion and Equifax but not Experian.

Building credit is an important part of improving your credit. Far too often the borrower does not have sufficient credit to establish history or allow for score growth. It may feel counterintuitive, but having well managed debt can be to your benefit. Prudent credit use shows that you can manage your finances well. Here are some examples of easy to obtain credit building tools –

Many borrowers are faced with resolving Cairvrs fails in the mortgage process. As of July 2022 the Department of Education restructured the way derogatory debt is handled. Most borrowers had their Caivrs “lifted” and were able to move forward. For those in serious default, they should reach out to the Department of Education and request a payment plan that will go into effect after the forbearance is ended. The representative will request information and may require a fax confirmation of the agreement. Once received and processed, the account will no longer be in default.

This is a marked change from the 9 month rehab programs that were previously required. I assume there will be additional changes as Covid remediation winds down, so borrowers should take advantage of relaxed guidelines now.
