Understand what a debt report measures
National delinquency statistics describe a defined reporting period and population. They do not determine an individual borrower’s eligibility. This historical article no longer presents unsourced delinquency percentages as current facts.
Review your own obligations
Student loan status, reported payments and any delinquency can affect a mortgage review. How a payment is calculated for qualification depends on the selected program and documentation.
Resolve questions before committing
Review your credit information, address possible errors with the relevant provider and ask a mortgage professional what documentation is needed. Do not assume that a repayment arrangement or credit-score change guarantees approval.
