Bank of Scotland loan review

Just applied for a bank of Scotland loan.
car on pop at £254, 2 credit cards active with no outstanding balance and a mortgage payment of £210 a month. I have around £700 disposable income a month.

I bank with bank of Scotland however not all my income is paid into that account. Loan repayments were stated at £300 pcm so still affordable. Went through everything and said it was sent for review and I'd know by 6.55pm (strange time I know). Does anyone know why this would be? I'm used to immediate decisions for things these days.

    It's a referral. It happens from time to time.

    Do you know any reason why it would be referred? I always get nervous with these things. Checked all 3 CRAs before applying and everything as it should be and fit their eligibility.

    Could be anything. ID check, employer check, pulled for internal audit. Could be a backlog caused by a system issue.

    Nothing you can do about it, so just wait and see.

    Come on, now. Someone actually finishing what they started?

    We should make an unwritten rule. We will not respond to posters who have previously left us in suspenders.:D
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
