Northern Rock taking 1 week to approve loan.......

Not heard a reply from them yet after a week.
Think my credit should be OK now (had problems a few years ago).

Do you think that means I'm pretty much screwed?

Also, I've noticed that since I applied the typical APR has went from 7.9% to 8.9%...do you think I'll still get 7.9% because I applied before it changed?

  • i am trying to think how long it took me. I am sure it was only a couple of days, but that was last year before all thier problems so maybe they are being more cautious about lending now.

    Its possible it has been delayed in the post due to the strike backlog ... I am getting mail but i reverse order i.e ewly posted stuff is arrivng sooner and even stuff posted on Wednesday didn't get here till Sat.

    I started a thread last week about the same thing, but with a different lender. heard nothing until a rejection letter six days after applying. So I would say go to Plan B! Of course, you may still get lucky...
