ALso when looking for somewhere to live what do i tell the agency ? surely when they credit check they will see that i have a mortgage ? and what if they refuse us because of bad credit will i find somewhere to live i have 2 young children and just want to get it sortyed but need to save the money first.
I know we need to do this but am getting scared now.

  • dont panic, firstly if you must answer the phone tell them you will check your bank as your not sure whats happened.. will stall them for a week or two.

    Do you have to move into rented? any way you could afford your mortgage and secured loan if you had no other debts?

    Yes agency will do a credit check on you, if you think you will fail you have a few options, 1, get a guarantor, 2, pay 6 months rental up front, 3, demand they ask the landlord if you can still have the property, he may say no especially if he is on a guaranteed rental insurance but if he is not could be worth it, 4, check out rentals in your paper through private landlords,
