I applied for a refi on my FHA loan in mid April. I was finally told that closing would take place today (Aug. 26, 2009). At the last minute, I get an e-mail from the lender saying that they pulled my credit score today (the day of closing) and it came in low so they will have to look into it. Is this normal? When I originally went to closing, my score wasn't pulled again the day of. I'm current on my mortgage payments. Never late. Just closed the other accounts because I have to go through debt settlement to pay off everyone vice bankruptcy. Is there a chance that I can still get this refi done?
mimi, credit reports are generally valid for 120 days. since you began this process in mid-april, the lender ought to have had enough sense to run your report earlier this month. closing accounts is seen in a negative light by the credit agencies, and that could have been the cause for the drop in score.
did they tell you what the score is now? if it's dipped below the minimum you could have problems trying to close.

It dropped VERY low to 497 because of my closing the accounts I guess. Is there any hope.
wow...not knowing what your score was earlier, i still have to opine that you got slammed hard in the intervening months.
i don't see much light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you gmakerley for your help. I kinda figured it would work out that way. I may have to consider some other alternative now. I may have to give up the house unfotunately because everything else will begin to fall behind without this refi.
"give up" means sell it, i hope. that's much preferable to any of the other ways in which you can dispose of real estate.
Yes, I am gonna have to sell it ASAP more than likely. There are a lot of upgrades in it so it should sell quickly. Thanks again!
