Frustration with general credit mentality

Frustration with general credit mentality

Day in and Day out I get people calling me for help. They want to buy a house. I have them send me a credit report and although I'm obligated to help I can't help wonder what these people are thinking. Back to back collections and late payments to date. So WHY? Why when it is obvious that a person cannot manage to pay on time payments on a car loan for a couple hundred dollars or less than $100 on a credit card, do they assume they can be responsible enough for a 200k + loan? I offer them a tie frame of when we might be able to get there situation straightened out and they demand it get done sooner like they have room to negotiate.... One lady yelled at me because she had already given her 30 days notice.... like it was MY fault she chose not to pay her payments and destroy her credit. I just don't get people sometimes. First of all... if you cannot make your CURRENT payment.... you have NO business trying to buy a home. :roll:

Needed to vent, I can't stand getting yelled at, especially when the person doing the yelling shouldnt be allowed to breed let alone purchase a home..... who tries to buy a home with a 438 mid fico anyway?

    LOL

    I recently sold a house for a couple in MI. the day before the sheriffs sale. (they had not paid in 10 mo.) From thier last bill they paid on they thought they owed 97,000. I sold the house for 107,000 we closed.

    Great right,

    Wrong the next week they were standing outside my office telling everyone I riped them off. Demanding thier 10,000 in equity.

    These jurkoffs had not made a payment in 10 months!

    & I had took 1,000 off my commision just to close.

    What are these people thinking?

    :eyes:

    Wow! Yeah some people have nerve. They should be thanking you for helping them avoid a forclosure on their credit.

    They should be getting second jobs, as it appears they are incapable of making their current payments.
    Perhaps there second job is filing frivolous lawsuites against Lee!

    Thanks both of you,

    For putting a smile on my face!

    I trust you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
