The challenge
What needed to be solved
The customer had been delayed by another broker for four weeks and was being directed toward a higher-cost unsecured personal loan because the Northern Territory does not issue the same boat registration documents used elsewhere.
Credit file
Approximately 700 score with employer-provided accommodation.
The approach
What X Lend did
X Lend found a lender comfortable with the remote location and structured the loan as secured finance using the registered trailer within the boat package.
The application was approved on the first lender enquiry, avoiding unnecessary applications to multiple credit providers.
The result
Settled outcome
Approved on the first lender enquiry and settled at a historical rate of 10.89%, without moving the customer into an unsecured personal loan.
Historical outcome only. Rates and policy can change, and every application is assessed on its own circumstances.
Documents used
Evidence supplied
- Standard income documents
