Unprompted review
Reply from Salad
Hello Avionne,
Thank you for taking the time to apply with us and leave your feedback.
We are sorry we were unable to approve you for one of our loans this time around. As you know, we use Open Banking, not credit scores, in our affordability process, which looks at income, direct debits, and debt-to-income, among other things. This allows us to ensure loan affordability on every loan we write.
We will ensure a detailed response goes out to you directly today via email.
With over 7 million people in the UK over-indebted and struggling to make repayments it is only right and proper that we take loan affordability into account first and foremost on every application we get.
Kind regards,
The Salad Team
