    I wouldn't necessarily agree with that.

    A business of any king tends to be very unforgiving. Unless it's a segment of the market they are actively targeting for business.

    I don't see why you wouldn't be considered for a mortgage. I had defaults and a CCJ on my credit file and still managed to get a mortgage. I would recommend speaking to a mortgage broker and they will be able to advice you of your options. Stay positive!
