What is an adverse credit history?
An adverse credit history is where you have been late in paying a loan payment or credit payment including credit cards and mail order. This payment history is marked on what is known as your credit file and is checked by the mortgage lender to establish how big a risk offering you a mortgage would be. If you fail to make a payment on a loan or credit agreement your lender could register a default on your credit file and if you keep missing your payments they will register a county court judgment against you. These are far more serious breaches of your credit agreement and most buy to let lenders will not lend to you if this has occurred in the last five years.
