Scan and attach queries (sending proofs)
You can scan original documents locally and then upload them straight onto the case from the 'Case Home' page by clicking the 'Attach document' button and following the instructions.
To ensure a speedy service please make sure you scan and attach each 'Case requirement' seperately.
Once you've attached the documents, just refresh the screen and the 'Case history' tab will confirm the document has been received and is awaiting approval. A copy of the document will also appear on the 'Case documents' tab.

For easy, step by step instructions on how to scan and attach documents please
download our Scan and Attach Documents Guide.
For best results we recommend documents are saved as PDF files, although we will also accept TIFs. Maximum file size is 2mb (megabytes).
If the file is larger than this, please print off a fax cover sheet and fax the documents to us, putting the correct cover sheet on top. Each document sent should have it's own seperate cover sheet.
Yes. Go to the 'Case home' page and click on the 'Attach documents' button. On the 'Attach document to case' page tick the box for the document you want to fax then click on the 'Fax header cover sheet' button at the bottom of the page. The number to send the document to will be printed on the top of the cover sheet.
Each document you send should have it's own seperate cover sheet, created using the steps above.

DIP Queries
No.
However you can create a KFI before the DIP in NFI Online and 'promote' the KFI data into the DIP process, this saves you having to key the data again.
Yes. If your DIP decision is an 'Accept' or 'Declined' due to affordability or criteria, you will see a button at the bottom of the decision screen marked 'Change data' - click on this and you will be taken back through the DIP process.
You can change data as you progress through the screens and get a new decision at the end. This will not leave another footprint against the applicant's credit rating.
If you need help you can download our DIP Reprocessing Guide or call us on 0845 601 0763.
No, you need to continue the case in the system it was started. Cases cannot be transferred from one system to the other.
Technical Queries
You probably clicked on 'View' instead of 'Edit'. Simply go back to My Home and try again.
When in view mode you cannot edit any part of the application.
This may be because your system is refreshing each page as you progress.
You can overcome this by changing the browser refresh settings to automatic, for
example in Internet Explorer you should make sure the 'Check for newer version of stored pages' setting under Tools > Internet Options > Settings > General is set to 'Automatic'.
