Zillow Advice: Credit Scores/Bad Credit - Does any one know of any lenders who will still approve 580 median credit score? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Does-any-one-know-of-any-lenders-who-will-still-approve-580-median-credit-score/251974/ Zillow Advice | Zillow Real Estate Ky,In text-sized bites, we ... http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Does-any-one-know-of-any-lenders-who-will-still-approve-580-median-credit-score/251974/ Ky,<br/>In text-sized bites, we can't possibly know the entire story of how why and where. I am sorry for your loss and will leave it at that.&nbsp; You need a good, honest, caring <a href="http://www.zillow.com/directory/lenders/">lender</a> that will not take you behind the shed for your credit score.&nbsp; Regardless of my bluntness, I am one of the good ones.&nbsp; 580 is a a dangerous number and is basically an invitation to a "BlackFlag" finance deal.&nbsp; Be careful of that&nbsp;and if you can't find acceptable terms, rent.&nbsp; The <a href="http://www.zillow.com/mortgage-glossary/Collateral/">collateral</a> is a major issue as well and that is the Seller's problem, not just your score's issue.&nbsp;What that means is that a Seller will struggle to sell&nbsp;to anyone regardless of score with that collateral, so do not feel pressured to take a less than appropriate <a href="http://www.zillow.com/mortgage/">loan</a> just to "purchase". &nbsp;I wish you well.

My husband died suddenly. With his death, I inherited 100% of our debt on my own. I sold my home. Didn't default, and am simply trying to start over. Not everyone with bad credit got there by being careless.
