Getting a mortgage with a default notice

Hi,
My girlfriend has a good credit rating and earns over 30K. She has about 20K equity in her property. I have been given 20K for use as a deposit, but I have a default notice against me from 3 years ago. We've been to see one broker who has said that there is no point me jointly applying for a mortgage with my girlfriend, because of this default notice. Is there any company that will take a look at me, 40K deposit must be attractive to some lender! It was suggested that my G/f apply on her own (with my 20K), but obviously she would not be able to get as big a mortgage. Who shall I ask about this?
Thank You

ask friends who they used and speak to a large broker like London and Country i doubt 1 default from three years ago would stop you buying a house with a 40k deposit...their details are on here somewhere...Lightbulb Moment - March 2004
