    Just for someone who finds themselves in the same situation as me.

    I've just heard from Halifax and my application has made it through the underwriters checks no problem at all. :j

    What the major banks say

    Yet of the major banks, few actually have a different policy towards the presence of a payday loan compared to other credit commitments such as a standard loan, overdraft or credit card.

    Lloyds Banking Group, the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Santander and HSBC all treat payday loans the same as any other type of loan.


    This article is nonsense.


    You are fortunate to have gotten a result.

    Barclays load the full outstanding as monthly outgoing


    Santander will most likely decline if use is extensive and recent


    Heaven alone knows what HSBC would do

  • Congratulations.

    Please can I ask what the mortgage interview was like? Did they ask you about your history of payday loans at all??
