I'm trying to rent a house or flat but the letting agents do a credit search before taking me on, its my boyfriend & i but i went bankrupt 2 years ago and have been paying £120 a month since then which ends in June, is there any way of letting a property without a guarantor? |

Just want to say thanks to all who responded, gonna talk nicely to my local council, if not, my boyfriend has a nice squeeky clean credit so it might have to be just his name going down!!
thanks again!!

Your BR will remain on your credit file for 6 years from the date of the order though, so I assume that this is what agencies will check.
The glimmer gets brighter all the time

I'm afraid it is always difficult trying to arrange a rental after bankruptcy. You may do better by looking in the local paper for a private landlord with a property that meets your needs but is not letting through an agency.

Does it make any difference that I've been discharged?

Its tricky...most places want a guarantor or 6 mths upfront which obviously isnt easy to find. You may have more luck going through a private landlord...I was lucky and got a place through someone I know. She had previously rented tho to people in IVA/ BR |
