    There is some merit in applying at 89.9 percent or similar, but this is not necessarily the golden ticket.

    They are particularly hard on levels of unsecured debts and are not the most generous on income multiples, I see them generally as middle of the road all round.

    What is your situation and may be able to give you a better indication...
