• Check the record: The lender rejects the file because co-borrower income proof is unavailable: Ask which exact underwriting requirement failed: acceptable co-borrower relationship, income-document type, minimum documented cash flow, collateral/security, margin, or another lender-specific condition. Do not manufacture salary slips or income figures to fill the gap.
• Take the next step: The lender rejects the file because co-borrower income proof is unavailable: Ask what substitute evidence or structure the lender actually accepts, such as another eligible co-borrower, verifiable scholarship or assistantship support, collateral where appropriate, or a different product/lender policy. Compare those options before paying processing costs repeatedly.
• Confirm the resolution: The lender rejects the file because co-borrower income proof is unavailable: You either have a documented structure the lender says it can appraise or a clear written reason that this lender will not proceed, allowing you to approach another suitable lender with the same truthful evidence.
