    Have you paid all your mortgage payments on time? According to my mortgage broker, who helped me get a home 2 1/2 years ago, as long as you paid your mortgage on time lenders "overlook" everything else. I will be refinancing my home in December (I have a 3 year pre-payment penalty of $2650) so I am waiting. I have only been 30 days late one time in the last 2 1/2 years. Btw, my credit scores are between 500-560 depending on the report they pull. Could be worse now, I haven't checked lately, and have too many inquiries on my report trying to get a credit card.
