I have excellent credit and zero debt. My house is paid for, debt free, and I do not have any outstanding debt. I have had loans in the past, but I’ve paid them off. Therefore, I do not have a credit score. I want to tap into the equity on my house and take out a second mortgage on my home, but the bank says that I do not have a credit score. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get a competitive rate with no score?

We have a mortgage in Canada but are permanent residence is now in the United States. The home has been a second home/vacation home but we are now wanting to purchase a new home in the US. My mom is going to take over our payments in Canada and live in the house. When we apply for a mortgage do we have to report the mortgage payment in Canada as we won’t have a monthly debt but we do have alot of equity that contributes to our net worth. We are worried we won’t get approved because it will hurt our debt ratio. I was told that because it won’t show on a US credit report and the debt is another country we don’t have to report it but our income tax returns shows the mortgage. Any advise greatly appreciated

I own my home, but do not have enough equity built to refinance and get $50K to pay off credit card debt-what are my options? Someone told me a second mortgage may work, but I have only owned my home for 14 months. Balance on my current mortgage is $77K, home value is max $90K.

HI I have about $20000 in credit card debt that I have been conscientiously willowing down for a bit now. I plan to have it down to 0 in about 1 year and a half. Presently it is spread amongst 3 credit cards..two have 3.99% and one of them is at 1.99%…all until about August or so..then I imagine I can transfer them around again. My question is ..I have enough equity in my coop to be qualify for up to a $60,000 equity line of credit…at prime plus “0″ —I’m not sure if it is to my advantage to use this equity line of credit to pay off my credit card debts…provided I apply for it. I’ve heard that the interest is deductible..would this make the decision a slam dunk obvious one??or are there other factors to consider.. I think prime is at 7%? now? Thanks for your help.
