Mortgage Application & Wonga Redress

Ajh0001
Posts: 2 Newbie

I am about to start the process of applying for a mortgage with my partner. I have £5200 saved in a help to buy isa and £6000 in another savings account. She has a similar savings total and income / outgoings as I do. I take home £1700 / month after tax and have £400 total outgoings when food and fuel is taken into consideration.
According to Experian my credit score is 999. However last month I have a £20 income from "WDFC-Redress". I am now worried that showing on my latest bank statement will ruin any mortgage application. Can somebody please shed some light on this?
