Morning all

Im just wondering someone I work with has recommended these as they manually under right rather than credit score.
Can anyone tell me what this will involve, I know they are still going to examine credit files/bank statements but if it is a person rather than a computer are they more likely to take into account circumstances, ie a failry recent missed payment on a mobile phone for a very small amount, when everything else looks fine on credit file. Looking at 95% ltv which is the sticking point.

Any advice welcome.

PS we live in the right area for lending.

    A human being looks at the case and compares it to the lender's criteria and decides if it fits.

    Not much more to say, really.

    Ok. Let me re-phrase that.

    A human being looks at the case and decides if he fancies signing his name and job to granting your mortgage offer based on the lender's usual lending practice.
