    When was the default registered? 
    What percentage deposit do you have?

    If it makes you feel any better, I have a case on my desk at the minute with 9 defaults and 2 CCJs - I am 99% sure this person will have a mortgage by next week. The "record" so to speak is 15 defaults - they got a mortgage too. 

    It says started 21/06/2014 and settled Nov 2019 (write off date). 
    We have £50k and looking at a mortgage of £240k


    And your broker says you cant get a mortgage? Jesus! I would love to see the cases they get because I would not even class yours as adverse. 

    I would expect that to be placed at normal rates every day of the week.

    Yup. He said we would hit a brick wall. 
    Apart from that default we will be totally debt free at point of application.

    Im not sure I rate your broker. Sounds like he is only capable of placing cases where a broker is not even needed. 
    I think you could probably pick a lender at random and have a 50/50 chance of getting it through.

    Our client had a £250 default for electricity registered to his account 38 days ago and we have secured lending for him with a mainstream lender.
    You need to forget about having a nervous breakdown and engage a more experienced broker.
