    @pipsinbrum not heard anything since last Thursday when I was asked for more paperwork (mainly from giftors). I have emailed my MA but not heard back yet so just a waiting game. Been 3 weeks yesterday so hope to have a update soon. I’ll let you know

    What paperwork were you asked for from giftors if you don’t mind me asking? That’s what we were asked for today but want to try and prepare anything they possibly ask for

    @c249401 bank statements to prove the money was for deposit it there, proof of id, a signed letter to say the money is a gift and not a loan.

    Because they took 5 weeks to look at the originals so it went over to a new month even though it was 90 days worth on submission. Broker was raging at them.
