  • Im no pro, but maybe we ould try put together a list of all the banks/ building society we can think of, and then you cross through all the ones you had creditors with until we can see whats left? I have a similar problem. I have a co-op account and a natwest instant savings account but they werent my creditors.

    Goldfish,
    Marbles,
    RBS Advanta
    Royal bank of Scotland,
    Capital One,
    Alliance & Leicester,
    MBNA,

    Most of those will not give you a mortgage.

    Is yorkshire bank the same as yorkshire building society? or a completely different bank all together?

    I always get confused with banks that sound the same, Like Royal Bank of Scotland isn't the same as Bank of Scotland lol. Why do banks use such similar names, Pure laziness i tell ya! :rotfl:
