How Santander Consumer files CIFAS markers for income discrepancies
Our client applied for a mortgage through Santander Consumer Finance. The income declared on the application did not match Santander's verification checks. However, the discrepancy was due to the client having multiple income sources that Santander's standard verification process did not capture — freelance work, rental income, and dividend payments from a small company.
