Mortgage credit searches

Hi, I'm currently in the process of applying for further lending on my mortgage (went through the application on the phone, they sent it out to me & I signed it and sent it back few days ago).

However yesterday i got a warning from credit expert about a late payment on my file. (this was a late payment to orange due to direct debit getting mucked up when i changed current accounts).

I assume mortgage co will be doing a check on me, has anyone any idea when the check would be done, and if this late payment will impact on my application.

Am a bit peed off, as orange said that the late payment wouldnt go on my credit file, it would just be internal, so i didnt pursue it further.

Thanks for any help :)

    I seriously doubt it if this is the only bad mark you will have any problems. Heck this is so trivial they wont blink twice. They get a score from the CRC based on your overall history, one missed payment wont matter a jot,
