Some lenders want "no pay day loans ever", but majority are "none in 12 months", with a smaller subset saying " no pay day loans in 2 years"
It's a really mixed bag1 -

I think you will be fine.
It only really becomes an issue if it is not within criteria. With none in 3 years, its unlikely to be a problem.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

I think it all comes down to how you've repaid the payday loans. If you paid them back on time and only used them briefly then I can't see you having any issues here.0
