Remortgage with bad credit

Hi,

I have a few ccjs on my credit record within the last 6 months. I'm currently with santander and out previous fixed rate deal has just expired.

They won't offer us another fixed rate deal as they say the rate is so low and isn't likely to change. So we're now on their variable rate which comes in about £160 a month extra.

Are there any other lenders it's worth talkig to with credit history like mine?

    I think you should call them back and ask again.

    Assuming you are going onto the 4.74% Standard Variable Rate, the only lender going to offer you better than that is Santander themselves.

    You may need a revaluation potentially.

    Having one CCJ is bad news. Several CCJ's is toxic.

    Santander appear to be taking a commercial judgement and the risk you pose as a borrower. Other lenders would react likewise.
