What are credit scores?
Your credit score is an indication of your payment habits. There can be mistakes on your credit report. You should make
an effort to correct these mistakes. You can review your credit record by ordering a copy of your credit report.
When can I lock in my loan?
You may request to lock in your loan anytime after your loan application is submitted. Your rate is not locked until you
receive written confirmation that your rate has been locked. Interest rates fluctuate daily, so the rates available when
you apply may be different than the rates available when you decide to lock your interest rate. By locking, you protect
your selected rate for a stated period of time regardless of market fluctuation. Once your rate is locked, you will
receive a lock confirmation stating the rate and terms that you have protected.
