Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

I don't see why NW won't allow the loan with the OD being so small, are they borrowing to the hilt, ie a full 95%/Income reasons or whatever - if so then that could be why.....

However it would be easier to get the mortgage in principle secured so if they can afford to pay the OD off this month then they should do so and let NW know as soon as it's paid then try and appeal the decline.

Or consider a different bank, the one that has the OD maybe...? Aren't all rates near enough the same? I dunno cos we're on a self cert so live with SVR sadly

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

However it's the fact of our Credit Score being so bad, that we are scared if they stay at our address that this would affect the decision - seeing they are already on thin ice with my Daughter having the BR in 2006/7 we can't quite rememer what year it started.

If this is the case then you could claim compensation from the CRA's as could your daughter because it's a breach of DPA for them to share anything of yours with your kids as there is no financial link, ie joint loan etc which would then only show the join and linked product anyway.

An address is not credit scored, it's the human behind the address that is.

One example --> Can properties be blacklisted by tenants' debts? - Experian UK

This is because credit checks these days take place on people and not addresses. As a result, any debts registered at the address against the previous occupants won’t appear on and therefore affect credit checks made on the current tenants. It’s as simply as that.

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Yeah...95% mortgage they couldn't pay it off the money this month and appeal as they would have to give the full deposit which they would be paying O/D with..so unfortunately need to wait.

If it had have been that easy, as this would have alloweds them to use thier own address.

Never mind will have to weait and see, the owners of the house they are in just now are just putting house on the market this week, so hopefully take a wee while to sell, which will give them breathing space.

The deposit doesn't get paid until exchange though so they could pay the OD off and prove it to the bank to secure the MiP....? Then as they're not buying yet they just keep renewing the MiP each month as they last 30 days I think.

Obv I know little about Scottish house purchases other than it's a pain in the arse with offers and bids

But in England that's how I would play it, take a statement as of today showing the deposit then pay the OD off and then take proof of that - you then have both sets of proof and just delay any offers till you know the deposit is back to the full pot again.

Make sense..?

Scrap all that if they bank with the NW as they'd then see the deposit shrink lol

It sure does make sense.....not sure how it works here now (long long time since we bought property) will put this to them both tonight and see what they say, not too sure about the renewing of MiP month by month, but they can sure ask.....they bank RBS so hopefully shouldn't be prob.

Only problem I can foresee is that NW maybe requesting to see proof of deposit again (just to see if they did take it off deposit) they seem to be on the ball regarding where funds etc..are coming from and going to, re money laundering and such (we wish). Twice over the past month since they applied at Xmas NW have requested on seperate occasions for bank statements for proof of deposit....maybe thinking they use some over Xmas period.

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Hmmm I see your point, maybe best to just save more and reapply then.

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

personally I would send the sold in dispute, I'm presuming that Hillsden still owns it, they do seem to operate on a hunger and burst basis, bombarding with letter one minute, then you hear nothing for months.....weird

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

personally I would send the sold in dispute

Yep I agree

[MrsD]

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Yep I agree

holy moly!!!

[Miss Muddled]

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Cheers MrsD, it does seem Hilsden do still own this and MDB doing the chasing, will send the Sold in Dispute letter today.

I agree seems weird that they go for months without contact.

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Ok Sold in Dispute on its way .....

Re: Miss Muddle's UE Diary

Mercantile Data Bureau Ltd are part of the Hillesden factory. They changed their company name from Hillesden Farms Ltd a while back. But when you check them out at Companies House you'll see their Nature of Business is "Non-Trading" and the company is "dormant" which begs the question how can they take money off people

I asked them to clarify their position with a copy of the Companies House page before I would respond to their letter. I'm still waiting for a reply
