Help with halifax soft searches and applications

Hi all. Ive applied for a mortgage with my wife which was rejected because of a unknown missed payment of £3 for 4 months we have dealt with that with id mobile and equifax and its been removed. Now the application has been referred to the business management to view we have sent the proof of not been our problem of the missed payment but the advisor isnt confident in getting it accepted. The halifax originally said i could have the mortgage in my own name as im A pass but there reluctant to redo another application in just my name because of another soft search as theres been around 3/4 now. Would 1 more soft search make that much difference because if its rejected with my wife on thats our last resort and would hate to lose the house. :mad:
