Our MA just emailed me to say that Leeds rejected our escalation request as the solicitor letter didnt include specific completion dates that we was working to. They said however that if we can get them to confirm dates then it will be forwarded to the escalation team, so I have chased our solicitor for another letter lol

Cor they love making it difficult don't they, lol. Least there is an escalation process.

My MA is chasing ours today, I can't wait to get the "Things are taking longer than usual response" and then hear nothing for 3 weeks

They have got in touch today after 15 working days and they want a few things, latest tax credits award (my working tax has gone down a lot because I’m earning more and I’m worried it may now change the lending amount )
and if partner has been affected due to covid. I changed job and they want to know if it’s same line of work but it’s a different career so I’m upset now. I could cry a sea atm but I’l be dead by that time, honestly the worry kills you. Hubby doesn’t take any stress at all and leaves it to me!

Ugghhh I thought it was bad sharing the stress, sorry that you have to do most of it alone. 
Did they say it would affect it having a new job in a different line of work? I did read something somewhere (it was a different lender) If you change to a job in the same line of work and you have 2 years experience it counts or something. The whole thing is a mine field.
Did they say you have to wait another 5 days once submitted? How long have you waited so far?
