Equifax – Fraudulent Address Back on my report

Hi all, I'd love to know how this happend....I cleared it up with Experian a while ago....a fraudulent address was on my credit report, somewhere in the ghetto of Philly - something to do with when my wallet was stolen, had carried my social security card and dl in it, another story; in anycase, I got the address off of the Experian Credit report, and many others....  There is NO doubt in my mind that this ghetto address belongs to the same thieves that stole my wallet...no doubt.

New Mortgage Question?

I was just approved for a mortgage with an 6.75 interest rate.
It is an FHA loan. I am a vet so using a VA loan is an option for me. My monthly payment will be 1,023 a month. I am a first time home buyer and I think that is steep. My fico scores arent that great but they arent terrible either. I just want to know, should I go with the FHA? Shop around for a better interest rate or go with a VA Loan. The loan was for 130,000

Equifax-645
Trans Union- 657
Experian- 675

What is a smart amount to borrow for a mortgage based on my income?

My wife and I make $ 80,000 between us. We only have one car payment and it is $ 500/month. I have no other loans or credit card debt. My credit is an 805 Equifax and 762 Transunion.

I am also aware of the ratio calculators but I am not looking to borrow the maximum amount and overextend myself. Does anyone know of any other calculators that are more conservative

Is it possible for a mortgage loan to show up on one credit report and not another?

I am worried about possible identity theft. When I recently tried to view my 3 credit reports, I was able to view two of them, which were perfectly fine. When I tried to view the third one (Equifax) it asked me a security question about my mortgage loan, where I got the loan and how much I am paying for the loan. I don’t have a mortgage loan, so I selected N/A on both questions. It denied me the report saying that I answered the question wrong. So now I am freaking out, thinking there is a mortgage loan on my Equifax report that I am unable to view! What do I do??

Equifax Credit Freeze

Hello everyone! :)   I currently have a credit freeze on my Equifax.  I wanted to join Alliance CU, but they called and said they needed it to be unfrozen.   I called into Equifax and went through the automated system.  (I couldn't, for the life of me, get a hold of a real person.)  The automated system wouldn't allow me to unfreeze it.  It said I may have to mail my request in. @#$#@#$   Anyone know how I can unfreeze this?

Trouble removing a collection as promised

   I learned something today I wanted to tell about, for other's in my boat...I got a collection last year (they billed wrong address) and by the time I found out, my score had plummeted (689 to 610). Of course I found out while trying to get a mortgage, after bragging about my post-bankrutcy "high" score! So, upon paying the collection agency (or "CA") the minute I found out (January), they promised to fully delete ( they were actually very nice)
