Both was 620 range...the couple wife had a good score in 780 range but these last three months it went down 150 + points and the card for the late payment is a credit card from a clothing department store that she probably spent and forgot to pay...but looks like the card account has been closed off too...all other credit card account she has payment was paid in time...The couple husband the report shows that he has just been making minimum payments each month and not the full payment...I don't know why....I'm also wondering why the parents are living with them...we also requested credit report for their parents but their daughter is saying their family's parents just came from overseas, they don't use credit cards so they don't have credit reports...

I would not finance the $70 as Rent, but I have Financed the Security deposit, its not the best situation, but if they have a clean background, and are just having a tough month with moving and all, maybe they will be good, its a roll of the dice,  i guess a good way to tell is their car and cloths, are they in new name brands and wearing $300 shoes, driving a new car but working as a cashier. or burger flipper?
