If you have had a mobile phone default in the last 12 months, getting a mortgage can be difficult.
Credit defaults of this nature are a common stumbling block when applying for a mortgage. The good news is that there are a number of lenders who ignore these kinds of defaults.
More often than not mobile phone missed payments are a result of a communication breakdown between the mobile phone company and a customer often due to circumstances such as moving address, leaving the country or personal illness or a family bereavement.
The short answer is yes, but it will depend on your circumstances. Not all lenders will be sympathetic so you may be restricted to who you can use. There are specialist lenders who deal with credit issues but you can expect to pay more in monthly interest repayments.
How long will a Mobile Phone Credit Default stay on your Credit File?
6 years. After this time a lender will not be able to see the default, although some lenders in a mortgage application will ask if you have had any defaults outside of 6 years, so its best to be upfront about this.
