Hello all, I have been recently approved for an auto loan from Affinity FCU. I will be executing the loan within the next few days, and all of the sudden had a catastrophe occur that I'm hoping will not sabotage the process. I was wondering what knowledge the group here may have on this subject. The short version of this story is that my EX report had recent baddies all resolved with $0 reported balances and a FICO 8 of 704 when I applied for the loan. It was conditionally approved pending POI and a vehicle purchase order. I submitted the pay stubs, and received another email saying the loan was fully approved pending the actual purchase order of the vehicle. Fast forward a couple of days, and an ugly installment loan CO that had previously only been reporting to TU and EQ all of the sudden slammed into my EX report causing my FICO 8 to free fall down to a paltry 637 which Affinity would likely never give an approval for. So, the HP Affinity has on file from just a few days ago shows my FICO 8 at 704, and the loan approval is good for 45 days. My question is, does anyone have any knowledge or experience on whether Affinity will do a SP of my EX report again in the process of actually executing the loan? I will be going to purchase the vehicle early next week, and am a little terrified that they will SP, see the huge change in score and awful baddie with a balance, and deny the loan. If anyone has knowledge or experience on this, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

My guess is that they'll roll with what they pulled initially. If you were talking a mortgage it could be a different story, but with an auto loan I don't think you have much to sweat.

I agree with the above, you should be fine. Of course, keep us posted and let us know what happens. I hope everything goes well!

I am considering Affinity for my next vehicle purchase, their rates for longer terms look excellent!

Just to put this thread to bed, Affinity did NOT perform any kind of a 'recheck' (thank God!, Lol). My auto loan is finalized.
