Lenders source data from one or more of the credit reference agencies (CRAs) - Equifax, Experian, or Call Credit.
For the mortgage lender to see account conduct and use it to help their credit worthiness, the provider of their credit has to feed data back to the CRA in question.
If they apply to a mortgage lender which takes data from CRA 1 and their credit provider feeds data only to CRA 2 or 3, the data will not be visible. Same if the credit provider doesn't feed data to any of the CRAs which is possible with a Credit Union.
They need to get advice from an independent mortgage broker, possibly about sourcing from a non-credit scoring lender where a human being makes the decisions.I am a mortgage broker.
