Hi all, hope I could get some advice here on this.
Me and my wife we use a credit card (same account) for every day shoppings, etc.. but no bills. So then we pay the balance every month half each (it’s anywhere between £400 to £600 pm). We do this just so we know how much we spend and that we can half it easy.
Now, do we stop it before we go to a booker and apply for any morgage as it may be seen as we are in dept every month even though we are not?
Thank you!

Dont worry about it. Just explain it to the broker and it will be fine...
