Pay day loans & mortgages

I have been told that it is impossible to get a mortgage if you have used payday loans in the past 12 months. Is this true?
I used them 9 months ago, credit has been better since and I'm improving my credit file.

I have 50% deposit, is it possible for me to get a mortgage ?

Or do I have to wait another 3/4 months and apply ?

  • Yes possible - but many lenders will reject (and not all problems go away after the year).

    Depends on rest of detail on finances.

    With 50% deposit your LTV is extremely good and thus with many lenders this pay day loan shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. Speak to a broker.
