Has anyone had trouble with Maras

I am being made redundant, and have found a new job 80 miles from home, so need to rent a flat nearer to work, while keeping the family home.

I have been turned down by Maras, but neither they nor the estate agent will tell me why. Having paid £60 for this "service" I think I am entitled to know what's going on.

I have no CCJ's, my bank is always in credit, my mortgage is overpaid, my credit card is paid off monthly. I will also receive a generous redundancy settlement (enough to pay the rent for over 3 years...) So I'm a bit stumped.

Any ideas?:mad:

    It's probably to do with your job, did you put the old job or the new on the form?
  • I have put both jobs on the form. The entire reasoning behind wanting the flat is to enable me to take up the new job.

    Just dropped by my bank, they are equally puzzled, as they have me rated as a "1" (Where "1" is the best available rating, and "9" is the worst). But apparently Maras didn't bother asking them about how I handle money.
