    I disagree, put the Bank you've been with longest - otherwise your score will be lowered.


    It all depends on how the question is asked on the application/AIP form

    Some ask for longest, others don't

    I would agree. Surely in this market lenders are looking for evidence of stability.

    Again, it depends on how the question is worded on the application when asking for banking details
