D. All of the above!
Credit is fluid. We can absolutely help you raise your score during the preapproval process. Often, we see nice increases in score during underwriting as well.
A higher score and lower DTI certainly are important factors in the risk assessment of a borrower.

The correct answer is D. All of the above. Here’s a breakdown of why each statement is true:
A. Your credit scores tell creditors whether you are more or less of a risk.
True: Credit scores are used by lenders to assess the risk of lending to an individual. A higher score indicates lower risk, while a lower score suggests higher risk.
B. When applying for a mortgage, credit scores have a huge impact on what your interest rate will be.
True: Credit scores significantly influence mortgage interest rates. Generally, higher scores result in lower interest rates, which can save borrowers a considerable amount over the life of the loan.
C. It is possible to improve your credit without paying for credit repair.
True: Individuals can improve their credit scores by taking steps such as paying bills on time, reducing debt, disputing inaccuracies, and maintaining low credit utilization without the need for paid credit repair services.
Conclusion
Since all statements are accurate, D. All of the above is the correct answer.
