How credit updates may be verified faster during the mortgage process.
Schedule a Credit Strategy CallA rapid rescore is a mortgage-only process used to request an expedited update to credit report information after documentation is provided. It may be used when an account balance, payment, or correction has already been made but has not yet updated on the credit report.
Important note: A rapid rescore does not erase accurate negative credit history and does not guarantee a score increase.
A credit supplement is a lender-requested verification used to confirm specific credit information directly with a creditor or credit bureau vendor. It may help document updated balances, payment status, account ownership, or missing information needed for underwriting.
Important note: A supplement may update information for underwriting review, but it does not always change the credit score.
These tools may be useful when documented credit information has changed but the current report does not yet show the update.
When a credit card balance has been reduced but the lower balance has not reported yet.
When an installment loan, auto loan, or revolving account has been paid off and documentation is available.
When a creditor has corrected an error but the bureau has not reflected the update yet.
When a collection has been paid, settled, deleted, or updated and proof is available.
When an account is not showing a payment amount, balance, or status needed for underwriting.
When account details need to be clarified for mortgage review.
A “pay for delete” is when a collection agency agrees to delete a collection account from the credit report after payment or settlement.
