Nationwide Loan soft search
So I got a quote for a £10000 loan over 5 years and the computer came back with 6.2%
Clicked on the apply button and got a rejection message immediately.
A little bit disappointed as I would have though the soft search would come back with a much higher rate if my credit profile is so poor?
What is the point of these soft searches?! :mad:

Not sure what you mean by what details?
I was truthful when I completed the online form. I was already logged into my online banking so most of the personal details were already filled in.
I assume the 6.2% rate quoted was based on information obtained from my credit file so if I had entered misleading information then surely it would have either given a higher rate or declined to give a quote?0 -
Did you do it in the middle of the night? I think Nationwide has trouble giving quotes between midnight and 8am.
Otherwise ring them? It seems a little odd.£1000 Emergency fund No90 £1000/1000

No, I applied around 5PM yesterday.
I will give them a ring but I doubt they will change their mind.0
