Daily Mail - Clean up your credit rating - as banks become even pickier about choosing their customers

Aaron Strutt, of broker Trinity Financial, says: ‘Most banks are not willing to offer mortgages to borrowers with a missed payment. Even late payments will be highlighted on your credit file and will count against you.’
