My ex husband walked out 3 yrs ago leaving me to pay a hefty joint loan on my own.
The payments per month are £298. per month.
I have just received a court order with a financial settlement of me paying the rest of the loan off in exchange for the family home.
I must get his name off the Sainsburys loan within 28 days otherwise I could go to prison (scary when you have 2 children).
I rang up Sainsburys to get apply for a loan and was refused on the basis of my credit score which incidently is 999 with experian.
I have never missed a payment with any of my finance/mortgage.
The new loan I was offered on application was £82 per month.
I was told to put a report together, a copy of my credit report/bank statements/decree absolute etc and send it to the underwriter which I did.
The underwriter has refused it again on the basis of my £200,000 mortgage even though I am selling the property next year and I have £160,000 equity in my home.
So Sainsburys would rather I go to prison and not be able to pay anything whilst in there and struggle paying £298 per month,
than pay £82 per month and get all of there money next year!!! Something very wrong somewhere!!
Oh and the help they give is absolutely zero.... Do not go near them with a barge pole.....
