Mansfield BS launches long-term-fix credit repair product
Mansfield Building Society is launching a new product for borrowers who have faced credit difficulties, with a long-term fixed rate.
The Mansfield's Credit Repair range supports borrowers with past credit issues, including discharged bankrupt from day one, existing IVAs, up to £6,000 in CCJs (over 12 months old), active DMPs older than six months with satisfactory conduct, previous repossessions over two years old, and defaults as recent as four months ago (maximum £2,500 on credit defaults).
The new product offers enhanced affordability due to the affordability being assessed on the pay rate and has a fixed rate of 6.39% until 31 March 2030 on loans up to 70% loan-to-value (LTV) with no completion fee. It includes a basic property valuation, and basic legal fees are covered for remortgages in England and Wales.
The lender's intermediary sales manager, Tom Denman-Molloy, said:
“We are proud to introduce this long-term fixed-rate option for our Credit Repair borrowers. By enabling affordability to be stressed at the pay rate, we’re offering long term stability and a more accessible path for those who may have faced credit challenges in the past.
“This product demonstrates our ability to provide customer-first solutions that address our borrowers’ specific needs and empowers them to pursue their homeownership goals with confidence.”
