A declined application needs a diagnosis before another application. Separate incorrect information, missing evidence, lender policy and affordability issues. Some situations need time or hardship support rather than a new loan.

Casual or variable income needs a lender-specific review of employment history, consistency and evidence. Bring payslips and income history, including lower-income periods.

Prepare your leave income, expected return-to-work date, proposed hours and income, household expenses and available savings. Tell the broker if any detail is uncertain. How a lender assesses current and future income must be confirmed for your application rather than assumed from your normal salary.

Request your credit report and check the accounts, payment history and identity details. If information is wrong, ask the reporting body or relevant provider to correct it; correction is free. Keep the correspondence and tell your broker which items are disputed. Accurate negative information cannot simply be erased.

Gather evidence of payment and check your report before making further applications or paying a credit-repair company.
