Mistake on online form

Summ14

We have applied for an online joint loan and realised my salary is £1k less on the form than it really is. It's with the underwriters am I ok to call an explain that my salary is actually more than stated on the form?

I work part time and my OH worked it out on less hours than I actually work.

Many thanks

    I would wait for the underwriters decision before doing anything.
    Then provide proof of your salaries if required.

    I've already phoned them and they said they'd update their records.

    Will it be a problem? We'd initially told them less on the online form. I did say I wasn't sure if it mattered or not and she just asked me for the correct salary and that was that really....
