    Depending on the finer details and you being happy to hold fire until the defaults drop off in June, I think you stand a decent chance at normal rates.

    Great that's brilliant to know. Who would I contact a local broker?

    Pretty much, I would probably lead with the adverse including the DMP to see what they say.
    If they lead straight in with a specialist bad credit lender then I would probably knock them on the head as you are borderline normal products if you get a decent experienced broker on the case.
