Mortgage help pls

Hi

I want to take a further advance to consolidate some loans I have. I am currently with nationwide. Now the LTV ratio, according to them is 67%. But because I don't have a good credit score they won't lend me the money. Even though I pass there affordability calculators. Their guy recommended someone like nemo, who I had never heard of, have googled them since but was wondering if anyone had heard of other places like nemo that I could also look at?
Also do brokers look at these other types if lender if I went to one or do they only look at high street lenders?

Thanks

GS

    When you say "don't have a good credit score", exactly what do you mean? Adverse credit? What specifically are the issues with it?

    Will be an issue for all the mainstream lenders in the current marketplace.

    Don't leap into consolidating debt. See what you actions you can take do to help yourself first.Suggest you try the Debt Free Wannabe forum first for support and advice on tackling your issues.
  • Late payments mostly and a lot of debt, which is what I want to try to pay off.

    Start by analysing every penny you spend. Normally an eye opener in its self.

    But you won't be paying it off, you'll just be shifting it to your home

    If you can afford the repayments as it stands, it would make little financial sense to add it to the mortgage.
    You might not feel it as much but it will take you longer to clear it and probably more in interest in the long run.

    If paying it off each month is an issue, then it could be worth consolidating but its worth considering the pros and cons of each.

    and looking at your monthly spend is definately an eye opener. We do financial breakdowns with all of our clients and according to all of my clients they seem to think at the end of each month they have a few hundred pound more than they actually do at the end of each month....ask them where this money is and they realise theyre mistaken.

  • What is a lot of debt? If it's 5k but you earn 90k a year, that 's different to 40k and you're on 20k a year...

    Get your credit reports from Experian and Equifax.

    If you have no defaults or CCJ's and have not missed payments doubled up and have 2's and 3's this may be an issue..

    Aside from that it is probably achievable.

    Nemo would be on a 2nd charge basis and there is a much bigger rate coming along with it..

  • Thanks, sorry its taken me a couple of days to get back to you.

    I am managing to repay at the moment as I have a second job, however my partner has now left me and I can't carry on working evenings and day times as I have no one to have the kids. At the moment I am paying back over 1000 per month with some of the aprs @ 26%. If I consolidated It would bring the monthly figure down to about 250, which is easier for me. Its the only way I can see to keep the house.

    Nemo would be on a 2nd charge basis and there is a much bigger rate coming along with it.. - Sorry what does this mean?

    Thanks
