Finally after many years of fixing things from my youth I've finally got a good credit history, excellent in fact. But my wife who traditional had very good history over an period of a 6 months has had damaged one due to HSBC in 2019.
Hard to decipher what's actually gone on looking at her credit history her HSBC she went over her overdraft limit (£100) I guess due too the car finance or something coming out and money clearing from a job.
The wife tells me she remembers some issue with getting a cheque from work which bounced or took days to clear which started the issue. Then getting hit with fee's added too the account from HSBC. So for a period of 6 months there was more money coming out then going in due too these fees.
After a period of time trying to make payment over a number of months, she gets annoyed by this vicious loop of fees and phones HSBC up to complain. Explaining how am I expected to get out of this deficit if you keep charging fee's more and more. Anyway they agreed, froze the fee and let her repay over X amount of months. More then a year on all's good. Its left a bitter taste because if the phone call was made sooner there wouldn't of been a issue, lesson learnt.
The problem is were now looking too re-mortgage and these 6 late payments in a row are flagging up in her history. It isn't stopping us from getting a mortgage but the rates are terrible. 4.5%.
I've been wondering if there's a way to get this removed. In my youth I had a disputed default I had removed by requesting a SARs. Due to a technicality, no default notice was given and I had it removed. I'm now wondering if I can do the same in some similar fashion.
- Unfair fee's perhaps?
- Was due to late payment from work etc
- Went unnoticed for a period of time. Why wasn't she notified.
Thanks for the help.
Regards
