I've been qualified for an FHA and now the underwriter needs credit reference letters from companies that could prove I have no bad payment history (utilities, phone bills, insurance, etc) and have never been delinquent. AT&T is my phone and cable service provider. I called their customer service 800-number and none of them seem to know what I am talking about when I said I need a Letter of Credit Reference. I’m stuck and don’t know how to proceed because I need to come up with three letters from three different providers! They said a letter from my apartment landlord is one that they would accept, but I remember that there was a month that I underpaid the rent for $12.50 due to a pet-ownership rate change that I didn’t catch. Will that twelve dollars affect my application, especially that FHA and the underwriter seem to have such a strict policy of “no delinquency” allowed? by JennyLu921 from Carrollton, Texas.

What you are needing to show is the past 12 months of payment history, no late payments, and current at this time. The letter needs to be written with the company logo and address information on the paper. Also the letter needs to include your name, address, and account number information.The underpaid rent can also be documented by letter from your landlord.
