in Loans
So when applying for a loan online your usually given a box to tick ... do u have a mortgage, renting, living with parents, student etc.
I live with my partner who has the mortgage in his name so I don't fall into any of the categories offered. I don't want to ruin the chances of my loan application.
What should I put?

    Do you give your partner any money towards the household? If so I'd put renting as it's closet to your situation.

    I would as well.

    I lodge with two people I've known years. I pay them a set amount each month even though I'm not named on the mortgage and have no formal agreement with them.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    I'm in the same situation and usually say renting.
