    hi everyone

    we are attempting to get approved for a home loan and quicken loans ( who i read will approve truck drivers) will not accept my paycheck without a letter of explanation for each line of pay. well, our company, which is a huge, national carrier, does not write such documents for lenders and suggested we move on to the next lender.

    anybody here have a good experience getting income verification with a certain lender? any success stories to share?

    also, our credit is fine, decent down payment ready, ofcourse they can see paychecks are good and consistent ( mostly) but they wont even accept "per mile" pay.

    Did Quicken specifically say your company has to provide that letter? If not, you could do it yourself.

    Do you have a bank or credit union that you’ve used for auto or personal loans? If so, I would have gone to them first.

    Or, as your company suggested, move on to the next.

    I use my local bank for just about everything. Never had any issues borrowing their money. And I usually have an answer within a few hours

    My local credit union. Can't speak highly enough of using a credit union instead of a bank. And definitely don't use a loan service like Quicken I know they are still very predatory. They tried to get me to take out a loan 3x what I budgeted when I was house shopping about 4 years ago.

    You ever try explaining cpm to a government survey ?? It easier to just bang your head against the wall . People outside the industry can’t grasp the concept

    Are you a W2 employee or a Lease Op? A standard pay stub is easily decipherable. A "Settlement Statement" can be a completely different animal.

    So Quicken cannot understand the concept of performance pay? In this case - pay per mile. So they basically exclude mechanics, carpenters and drywall hangers and so on?!

    Another fan of a credit union here.
    We just refi’ed our home and had approval the same day. Good competitive rate also.
