I am trying to buy a home right now. I thought it would be no problem. My credit score is 750, my take-home pay is $1500 a week. I have been a nurse 20 years. I found a beautiful little house and fell in love. I put it under contract and applied to quicken loans. They had me hopping trying to get all of the paperwork in, but I did. I sent them bank statements for 2 years, I sent them copies of my travel contract so they could see how I get paid. I have been with the same agencies for up to 7 years. Lots of other stuff. They said that everything was a go. Then they called me and said that because of my unstable job history.......yes. and because of the fact that my pay had decreased.......I explained that I worked up north in the summer, which pays more, and came back down to Fl for the winter and that up north pays more. I said that each contract is negociated with each new hosp. They said that I was a high risk for default on a mortgage because of my unstable job history and my declining salary. They would not lend me ANY money. I was livid. I have applied with a couple of other brokers, but am trying not to get my hopes up. This is descrimination! It is not right. I have worked very hard to keep my credit good. I prooved my high income. What more do they want????? Now the home owners want me to get lost and give me my deposit back. They said "You've been turned down by the bank. Obviously you misled up about your history. How humiliating!!!! I just don't know what to do.
