    The issue for lenders is the reasons behind why your husband needed to take out a payday loan in the first place. As really a last resort as a source of borrowing.

    There are lenders who do not mind, but as Thrugelmir says they may delve in to why it was taken out.

    How long ago was the payday loan taken out?
    I think the answer to that will also depend on which lender may be willing to consider you. Do you have any other debts etc?

    Maybe try getting advise of another mortgage broker. £50 is not a lot but I know lenders are very against payday loans. Or you could wait 6 months to a year before trying and try to keep your credit rating clean.

  • Some lenders (including yours it seems) are black and white on payday loans whereas others are a bit more flexible.

    It'd be worth your while getting expert advice on this one.
