my house is worth about $550k.. My credit score is 559 right now, due to my excessive credit card and student loan debt.. nothing has ever been late, it's just that i have excessive amounts of these debts.. i make about $2,600 dollars a month, and i'm wondering if i will be able to get a home loan for about $100k so that i can pay everything off.. (my house is 100% paid off).. will i have a problem getting this home equity loan?? should i even both applying or should i just wait until i pay down my credit cards more?? advice anyone?
