Collections do not automatically kill a USDA approval — underwriters weigh age, size, medical vs non-medical, and whether balances must be paid. We review your report before you pay debts that may not be required.

Underwriters look at collection type, balance, age, and automated findings — not just whether an account appears on your report.

Before you pay collections or dispute tradelines, we map what underwriters will actually require for your USDA file.

Not every collection becomes a roadblock — here is what we see most often on USDA files.

Follow this process with Ryan & Steve so you only pay or dispute what USDA underwriting actually requires.
