Why has my application for a homeowner loan been declined based on my credit profile?

Your credit score is determined by a number of factors. A lender’s credit scoring system allocates points for each relevant piece of information to create a score. If your score does not reach the level at which a lender is able to lend to you, we would not be able to agree to provide you with a homeowner loan. You can find out more about the information held about you by credit reference agencies on the Equifax website www.equifax.co.uk. Although Alchemy Money will work very hard with its partners to find a suitable loan there may be circumstances when your application will be declined.
