mortgages with tax credits

Options
Hi

I am looking for a company that will include my tax credits when calculating my income. I know the halifax do (or at least used too) but I also need a 100% mortgage

I dont have the best credit history - a few late payments, and last time Halifax said I could have one- through Birmingham Midshires, but they wanted a 5% deposit.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have requested a mortgage broker too ring me but ive already been let down by one - and I need to sort it as soon as possible


Thanks in advance

Bekki

    A 100% mortgage with credit problems - may cause a problem with some lenders.

    Have you got a copy of your credit file?

    What is the purchase price you are looking at?

    What is your income?
