Most lenders have a credit scoring system. I have just had a home loan application declined by lender where I tried to mitigate the chance of the application failing credit scoring. In this home loan application, the borrowers had high income but minimal funds in a savings account and high consumer debt, i.e. 2 car loans, personal loan and multiple credit cards. Even taking into account the amount of equity in property, the borrowers were in a negative equity position, that is, they owed more than their assets were worth.
It is so important when applying for finance to show you have savings in a transaction account, whilst at the same time, paying out credit cards or reducing/consolidating the number of cards. Deferring the application may be worthwhile.
The solution now is to apply to a lender who does not credit score and maximise the strength of the borrowers.
