If you've marked an application as Referencing Unsuccessful by mistake, you can still carry on with the tenancy. The application can't go back to the References Pending stage, but you don't need to withdraw it and start again. Click Continue Tenancy on the application to move on to the next step.

 Warning

Don't withdraw the application and create a new one. Click Continue Tenancy instead
