Hi, quick question.


When I was declared bankrupt a good number of years ago, I had a CC with a high street bank.


20 or so years later, would they now give me a mortgage?


My credit history is squeaky clean now. no arrears, defaults/missed payments.


Good income, have an existing mortgage and wanting to buy a second house.

    It depends on whether their application form contains the 'have you ever been BR' question or not.

    Perhaps worth talking to a broker but after 20 years, there will be no record of the BR on your credit history.

    Have you looked at your credit history recently - get copies from all 3 of the big ones Equifax, Experian and Call Credit
