When I first contacted ING a couple of months ago, I made it very clear that I was paid by an international organization and did not pay UK income tax. I was assured that, based on income figures alone, it shouldn’t be a problem to get a mortgage. Cut forward to today, when a different person tells me, “oh, there are some notes on your income documents. They’ve been sent for review”
After saying that I’m not overly surprised, seeing as I have unusual fiscal arrangements (yet all perfectly legal and above board!!), I’m now told that “oh, I’ll have to make a note of that, not paying UK income tax is generally a reason for non-approval”.
DAMNIT!
It’s not like I was being deceptive, I told them all of this shit months ago. And now, after weeks of faffing and being jerked around, now they drop this shit on me.
I can pay the fucking mortgage.
Please let me give you my money.
