At the same time, the firm has increased the amount and types of permissible adverse credit.
The borrowing increase from £1m to £1.25m applies to LiveMore 1, 2 and 3 as well as the recently launched ‘Up to 100% debt consolidation’ product.
Intermediaries with customers who want a loan greater than £1.25m, can seek a referral through their LiveMore business development manager (BDM).
The increase in maximum adverse credit applies to LiveMore 4 as follows:
An increase from three to four missed payments on unsecured arrears
A rise in the value of permissible satisfied county court judgements (CCJs) and defaults from £1,500 to £2,500
The allowance of a debt management plan (DMP) if satisfactorily maintained and over three years prior to application.
The changes apply across LiveMore’s Standard Capital and Interest, Standard Interest Only and Retirement Interest Only (RIO) products.
LiveMore head of proposition strategy and development Sam Ward said: “While the economy and housing market is on the up, many older borrowers are still feeling financially challenged. These changes are the first of many, as we continue to support borrowers aged 50 to 90-plus.”
