It would be helpful for you to provide your current credit score. It is best if you do this for yourself to avoid losing points against your credit. The lender will do their own pull of your credit when it is time. You can get a copy of your credit report for a fee through Equifax and TransUnion or there is Credit Karma which is free.
I use the latter myself.
