You might want to open a thread of your own instead of hijacking this one which is intended for broker comment, rather than individual case issues.I am a mortgage broker.

Precious?
Perhaps I should have left you wondering why you were getting no replies on here, instead of making a suggestion to try to help you get the information you need?I am a mortgage broker.

I would recommend that any mortgage adviser reads the following FOS decision

Hi
Started my own thread with this question but someone suggested trying here,so here goes.
I am thinking of doing CeMap's and working towards becoming an independant broker but will obviously need some on the job experience,once qualified,with a company/brokerage first,the problem i have is my credit history is not perfect,no bankruptcy or ccj's but i am in a debt management plan the root of which was overstretching myself on a mortgage pre credit crunch. Would this be a minor stumbling block or a major hurdle,or even a complete non starter?
Any advice would be welcome,and apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.0 -
Its probably not a non starter but its also not a minor issue. You could struggle to fine people prepared to take you on.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

We employ advisers and credit standing is a hurdle. A debt management plan would be a no-go in our case. However, that is our choice. There are many that will think the same way but if you have enough positives to offset it, then you may have a chance. However, unqualified with no previous experience and no client bank means you are lacking on the most common requirements small firms look for.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
