In addition, there cannot be any material adverse change in your credit report from the time the loan was offered to you and the funding of your loan.  For more information about material adverse changes, please see here.  

We also check to see how much debt you have in comparison to the income you receive.

You must not have any bankruptcies, or public records from within the last 3 years on your report unless the public records consist only of paid civil judgments or paid tax liens;

You must also not have on your report any accounts that are currently delinquent.

You must have fewer than 6 inquiries on your credit report in the last 6 months, not including any inquiries related to student loans, vehicle loans, or mortgages.

Additionally, the credit score Berkshire Bank receives may be different from the one reported by your credit monitoring services in the event that a credit monitoring service is reporting a score from a different bureau or different scoring method.
