Today, 4.09 pm They are more concerned about fraud and uber-underwriting then they are about quality new business. The previous post about looking for tiny differences in fonts on bank statements, and expecting us to do it is an example.I'm not a fraud investigator, and I don't wish to be one. I take reaso...
Today, 3.58 pm Thanks guys, the client by some miracle was awarded a pay rise and it just fits with Newcastle now
Today, 3.57 pm If you get a case that doesn't fit affordability with several lenders perhaps it's because they'd be over stretched? Personally speaking I'd rather pass on a case than see them over commit.  The past three weeks have been yet another reminder of how the goal posts can move in a...

Today, 3.28 pm Its appalling. This is the first case I have submitted to them for quite some time as their service is always shocking but this takes the biscuit and reminds me why they wont be getting anymore cases off me. Those of you worried about going DA and losing HSBC - dont be - they are not worth it! ...
