Kent reliance

Options
I’m just wondering if anyone has used Kent reliance and had any issues re being in their overdraft? Or bet transactions? All our documents have now been passed to the underwriter at KR but our MB phoned yesterday and said everything looks affordable but the only thing they might pull is that there is a regular betting transactions on the bank statements, this isn’t everyday, only once a week when my husband bets on football, literally £10/20. I’m in my £500 overdraft and so is my husband, do you think this will affect anything? Has anyone else had the same issue? 

Many thanks xx

    Bets £40 to £80 a month should be OK.

    We have seen bank statements with £200 a day going out (not on successful applications)

    We applied with these guys yesterday. Did your AIP come through straight away? Ours took minutes but others say two days?

    Have you heard anything back yet? We haven’t, it’s been just over a week with the underwriters. 
  • They asked us on Friday for proof the four defaults were settled and no further money was owed. I did that today and nothing back since but MA says it all looks fine, and my credit file shows them all as settled so we have that as backup evidence also.

    I think a week is normal, pretty sure their website says 5 working day turnaround to review documents
