    Beware that the AIP may leave a mark on your credit record, so taking lots of them out could affect your ability to get credit.

    Otherwise, no technical limit I guess, but each time you get one it reduces your chance (either by a small amount or by a lot) of getting the next one approved.

    Every "hard search" leaves a footprint on your credit file which is visible to lenders who come later and perform a search.

    I suggest you have only one, unless you have some particular problem.

    Have you established the issues visible on each of your three credit files, as NatWest only uses Equifax?

    Normally an AIP will give an answer straight away, has it been done, or is this just your broker/branch sales person asking questions before they submit?

    all lenders will ask the same, its money laundering requirements. Is it a gift from parents, if so just tell them
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    So what's the issue? You saving account statements should show the regular drip feeding of funds. If you've suddenly deposited a large sum then questions will be asked.
