New to the game
Need help/advise on house mortgage and car loan?
I just received my very first credit report/score from TransUnion. My current score is 680. I did have 3 late payments in 4~5 years ago. Other than that, my file was clean. However TransUnion still commented my score was being "poor"

Will I be able to get a good house mortgage in Ontario? I already saved up over 25% down payment but this credit report doesn't encourage me. How about a car loan? What is the average score banker/loaner look for? Thank you!

680 will qualify you for a decent rate (anything over 660). However you need to check all three credit bureaus, because the bank uses the middle score of the three - it throws out the high and the low.

The other things in consideration - Loan to Value (you have 25% down so that's fine), and income to debt - which for the house should be no more than 25-33% and total non-mortgage income to debt - which should be no more than 25% or so.

The idea is that for all your debt together (including home), you should not be spending more than 50% of your monthly income.

Get the home loan first, then the car loan. If you do it the other way around, you may not qualify for the house becuase of above. Once you have the house, the auto finance companies will give you a car with little regard for the ratios - because you are a homeowner (as long as your credit stays OK - above 620).

680 is not sterling credit, but it isn't bad, a little above average. I'm not sure what the annotation of "poor" from Transunion is about.

The thing, though, is different lenders use different credit scores as a base to consider, but it isn't the only thing. 680 should pass one hurdle for almost all loan programs, but they will also have debt-to-income ratioss, time on the job and amount of time at last residence.

So you can have a score of 580 and get approved for a loan (although the interest rate might be quite high) but some one with 680 could be truned down if there are problems with other aspects.

That might be what the other poster was refering to about having "their own score."

The main point is to make sure that everything is paid to date now, with no delinquencies in the previous 6 months. Then you should have no problem.

Check out this site, I'm sure they have the answer you're looking for.

680 is quite good but the credit scores are now a days bogus. They have a different credit rating system. the car loan should not be a problem though and 25% down on a home usually means you got it.
