    Some people still bankrupt or indeed discharged would still fail a credit check BUT some landlords would find a way around this with a deposit & a guarantor

    It all depends on the agents and landlord. I found an agent that would take us without a guarantor and just on the strength of DH salary but it was difficult. All pinned on the landlord in the end.
