    a landline telephone gives you some points as it means the telephone company will give you credit and trust you to pay the bill
    try different places, if you get a dodgy one the interest will be very high
    have you tried your bank , ring them and ask

    You need a FICO score of at least 620 to even be considered for an FHA loan. Conventional loans want a score of at least 720 - 740, plus 20% down and closing costs.

    The negative student loan problems could be enough to keep you from getting approved even IF you had a score in the high 700s. You may have to wait till you have 24 months of consistent, on time payments showing on the student loans.
