Update to Duplicate Credit Score Policy on FHA Transactions

HomeBridge is updating its policy on FHA transactions when a duplicate credit score is received for a borrower.

When two (2) of the three (3) valid credit scores received for a borrower are a duplicate, HomeBridge will use the duplicate score when determining the borrowers’ representative credit score (currently the lowest score is always used)

Example:

There is no change to policy when there are three (3) separate scores received; the middle score is used.

Additionally, there is no change to the loan representative score guidance; the lowest representative score of all borrowers is used.

The FHA guidelines have been updated to reflect this information and have been posted on the HomeBridge website at www.HomeBridgeWholesale.com
