Nationwide loans with an old default

I wasn't sure if this should be in this section or the Credit Rating section!

Anyway, could anybody please tell me what the eligibility criteria is on a personal loan from Nationwide?

I have a few defaults which are almost three years old, but have been with Nationwide for 30 months, paying in £1300 each month.

I also have my home insurance and an ISA with them (to strengthen my relationship with them)

Thanks in advance. :money:

    Do you know nationwide have a soft search option? so you could try a quotation search to see if you are likely to be accepted.

    This doesn't put a credit application search on your credit file.

    These could be the deciding factor. Any other late or missed payments? Any CCJs? If you are not sure you need to get a credit report (not a credit score, these are worthless), costs £2.

    Also current debt to earning ratio is relevant (assume they will allow a total maximum debt of around 50% of your earning).

    As mentioned it's worth trying their soft search option.
