    If you can explain the blips so that the bank is confident you will not renege on payment, you have a chance.


    If the "blip" shows you did not engage with that financial institution at the time, you have no chance.


    They will see how long the "blip" was on the record, so best to be 100% honest and if it matches up and they don't see non engagement, you may be ok

    Moved to a forum that's actually related to the topic instead.

    You're not doing to find this online unfortunately. Every appeal is based on its own merits, every bank has its own criteria and way of looking at an appeal.

    Appeal it, what's the harm.

    Thank you! I've guess I've nothing to lose...just anxious as I don't know much about appeals process and it's not very openly discussed...was hoping to hear some positive feedback from someone in a similar situation



  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,027 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R


    There isn't some centralised appeal process to discuss.

    I don't know what lender you applied with, or what their process is, but what will likely happen is that a more senior underwriter will review the first underwriter's decision and see if they agree with it, or if they would be willing to proceed.

    When you say you have some blips, what does that actually mean? Have you got a copy of your CCR report? If you have unsettled debt it will remain on your CCR report until such time as it is settled. And it is very unlikely that any loans officer will sign off an a loan in situation where the borrower has unsettled debt and has demonstrated that they do not stick to the terms of the agreements they sign.

    I fell behind on 2 loans due to personal circumstances both cleared over 3 years now and my ccr report shows this .

    I had a student loan that went into arrears over 10 years ago and I paid it in fullin the end. I got my credit report two years ago and it didn't show anything in relation to this loan but recently I got a call from the solicitor handling the debt collection for it way back saying that there was a final payment outstanding on it. I had received no correspondence from them about it and had originally been told it was all cleared. I'm worried now that me paying that final payment might have reawoken the credit instance but i'm hoping if it does I can appeal as my report was perfect and I did my part in clearing when I did, or so I thought.

    I'd provide as much detail as you can and hopefully you'll be OK.

    if the banks won’t help you the council have a mortgage/ loan you can apply for.

    completed loan records stay on CCR for 5 years. Try a different lender or get a broker.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11 sweet16


    Thank you for taking the time to reply...I guess my main question is am I just setting myself up for more heartache or do appeals sometimes work out ..



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 10,229 Mod ✭✭✭✭Jim2007


    There is not much more you can do with the report. Are you sure that this is the only issue they refused you on?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 10,229 Mod ✭✭✭✭Jim2007


    The EU directive and the law based on it is being phased in and not all institutions were required to report at the same time, get a new CCR and see if the loan now appears on it or not.

    Yes definitely the only reason.

    Unfortunately for me it does

    appeals definitely work if your reasoning is something they can accept.


    If you have any correspondence showing a balance from 3 years ago and an equal payment, then you can ask for the record to be corrected as you'd be able to show that you paid off what they requested.

    And if its a single payment and obvious its a last payment and you can show that, you have a chance. Not sure about Haven, but Bank of Ireland take a more pragmatic approach and look at your current status and how stable your employment and earning power is over the period of the mortgage.
