Help with letter for mortgage application.

hi guys
i have been asked to send in a couple of other bits of paperwork and a covering letter as to why i missed a mortgage payment and was late paying a couple of times and also why i have a ccj.
can anyone offer any advice on how to write it .
i know only i know why i didnt pay things on time im just unsure as to how to word it.
i know they wont want to listen to me going on and on.
i also know the application wont hang just on this letter but i would still like to do my best.
any advice??

    Hopefully.....i dont think they are going to shut up shop overnight, or within a few weeks....but its on the cards. If i was your broker I wouldnt be using them.....her (it was a she wasnt it?) commission is by no means safe!

    Looks like my prediciton was correct, they have gone into administration today.

    Has your mortgage already goen through smnb08?
  • I had an e-mail yesterday @ 1605h to say they had gone into administration. They mentioned that GE money took a 20% stake in them 18 months ago. Look at GE now!!!

    smnb08 you have been trying to re-mortgage forever it seems like!!! What lender you going through now?

    Beacon i think it was.

    Hopefully the case will be farmed out to a different packager so it can continue.
