A decline is a clue, not a full answer
A lender may decline because of credit conduct, servicing, deposit source, property type, income evidence, undisclosed commitments or simply because the file was placed with the wrong policy lane.
Credit events need dates, amounts and status
Defaults, arrears, hardship flags, bankruptcies, writs and repayment history are assessed differently across lenders. John reviews what happened, when it happened and whether it has been paid or explained.
The next application should be deliberate
More applications can mean more enquiries. Before going again, John checks what needs to be fixed, what documents are missing and whether a mainstream or specialist lender is the more realistic route.
