If all payments have always been made on credit cards and mortgage etc. is it still possible to get approved for a loan if you have credit card debt? Thanks

    That would depend on affordability.

    Hard to say without details, for someone with a decent income and low balance on a credit card and reasonable mortgage payment, then yes. High debt on the card and low income probably not.

    It's not about the debt, it's about your ability to service that debt...
