Mortgage Application

Can anyone tell me I have applied for a mortgage with the abbey through a broker.

He has spelt my surname wrong by one letter at the end. When I check my credit file on experian I see that the abbey have checked my credit file under this mispelt surname.

I contacted the abbey who have told me the broker needs to amend this.

Have the abbey credit checked me or not I am now unsure as whether when they amend the surname they will re credit search me again?

Anyone any ideas on how this works.

They have approved me for a mortgage but would appear under mispelt surname!!!

    You will be fine

    The adviser just needs to send them a memo to correct the spelling mistake
