Not knowing your own credit history.
Going into the mortgage process blindly is just silly, but going into it without knowing your own details is even crazier.

A low credit score will easily increase your mortgage’s interest rate by at least a few percentages. In a worst case scenario your credit score may cause you to not get approved for a loan.
