FHA Recoils on New Policy

A policy demanding borrowers to settle their disputed bills in their credit reports before they are qualified to have another loan has been canceled by the Federal Housing Administration.

The FHA has ordered to make the annulment of the policy effective on July 1. This policy would have had a big impact on people with undisputed bill accounts listed on their files where the amounts range from $1000 or more. According to some experts if ever the policy was pushed through, one out of three FHA applicants for loan would find it difficult to get qualified.

The withdrawn policy would have required borrowers who had collections of unpaid bills to settle the amounts before they could apply for a new loan. They could do this either by paying the amounts in full or by applying a repayment schedule. If you fail to do so then you would not be allowed to have FHA loans.

Disputed bills are very common to the files of every borrower in the United States; however it does not pose a very serious risk to credit. These bills would however, result to many altercations and disputes among the overpricing of dealers and consumers. The same is through with open collection accounts, however they are considered more threatening by the lenders because they often get unpaid during the extension period.

Those who opposed the policy said that the terms were more in favor of the lenders and it was very heavy on FHA borrowers, which composed of low income households, first-time buyers and other minority groups. They also said that the policy would not be very helpful in seeking out the credit risks in private lending for the agency. This is because these private persons are already imposing overlays in the mortgages of borrowers.

So to sum it all up, borrowers are no longer required to pay off their undisputed debts, however they must be wary of overlay prices from private lenders for they might be the reason you could not get a loan despite the fact that the FHA is more giving.
