    Probably not, you need to qualify for the refinance based on your credit score. Check around on what score you need to qualify for the loan. I would focus on improving your credit first. Pay down your credit card debt or collection acts first.

    @Tommy Pitts How bad is bad? If you're talking about a FNMY or Freddie loan, then your score will be a factor. A portfolio lender may be a little more lenient but they will also consider your score. Lenders look at what is called "the five C's of credit": Charactor, Capacity, Capital, Condition and Collateral. You may be weak on one of the C's, but if the others are strong enough, it will get you a loan approval.
