Does First Direct discriminate against Armed Forces?

Leaving the Army at 55 and establishing a new career that generates a similar level of income will be the challenge. Many people in their 50's find themselves going back down the ladder a few rungs for any number of reasons. Still in work yes, albeit at a lower income.

But with an MOD pension to boost that income... something the lender will not take into account even though it is a guaranteed source.

Finally borrowers are overly optimistic with regards to their own future finances.

Some maybe, but not all. Some borrowers are realists and pragmatists who have a very clear understanding of where their finances lay both now and in the future.

You're not listening. This is not discrimination. You are wasting your time. Move on.

Vote with your feet and move to another lender then. As I have told you - you won't be stuck for options.

Depending on Corps or Regiment the rank of private can also be called signaller, gunner, craftsman, ranger, kingsman, guardsman, fusilier, rifleman... Each will say they are better than the other :-)
