Review: Pending Review

Summary

Multiple speakers discuss the challenge of verifying self-employed income for a mortgage or account application. They review that the applicant's income fluctuates and that three months of bank statements are required. They note that only Barclays statements were sent initially, which show lower income, and that the Zempler business account and Starling statements need to be provided. They plan to send the correct documents via a secure link and anticipate explaining to the finance company that private client payments are legitimate business income.

Facts

  • The applicant is self-employed and income fluctuates.
  • Three months of bank statements are needed for the application.
  • Statements from three banks: Zempler (business), Barclays, and Starling (personal).
  • Initial submission only included Barclays, showing about half of declared income.
  • Statements were sent via WhatsApp to an agent named Ross.
  • The total income in June was slightly higher than the declared amount.
  • The applicant transfers money from Zempler to the other two accounts for bills and spending.

Tasks

  • Send the correct bank statements (Zempler, Barclays, Starling) via a secure link.
  • Provide business accounts and sample invoices to explain private client payments.
  • Contact Ross in the morning to ensure they understand the income source.
  • Potentially re-explain the situation to the finance company.

Issues

  • Finance company may not understand self-employed income fluctuations.
  • Only Barclays statements were received, leading to a mismatch with declared income.
  • The agent requested additional documentation late in the process.
