    How much was the loan for?

    If declined I would advise making another application for until the middle of next month.

    Why? Well banks have lending limits. Applying at end of month is risky as say for example the bank has lent 90% of its target then it will tighten its own internal credit score making it harder to get a loan. On the other hand if only lent 60% it will lower score....

    Well it’s not been a straight decline. Applying on a Sunday / Bank Hol can lead to referral as some systems are down/updating. Try and apply if possible during the week before 9pm.

    Best wishes

    It's possible that your application has been referred for manual underwriting as it's not an automated decision. It will take longer than normal but an indication has been given and you may get a decision sooner.
