As part of the fact-finding process we ask you to download your credit file so we know exactly what the lenders will see. Quite often there are mistakes on a credit file if identified early can be rectified prior to making an application. You can download your file using this link below.
Most lenders ignore issues longer than 6 years old as they no longer appear on your file but all lenders ask for no recent issues. Our expert knowledge enables us to best match a lender to your circumstances and quite often small indiscretions can mean we can get cases through at standard rates. Having a low score can be as bad as having a bad file but we have lenders that manually underwrite cases and do not use a “computer says no” approach
