    Other than the CCJ your credit is still poor ... does that mean you have missed or late payments dotted around the place?

    If so i think your going to struggle.

    If other than the CCJ you have kept good credit - ie payments on time. Then you stand a decent chance.

    How much of your income is made up of benefits? If its a large percentage, again you may well struggle. You may well need a 15-20% deposit. I doubt a 10% deposit would cut it.

  • Few missed payments here & there.
    Joint salarys are £12,000 + £9,000 benifits.
    Were looking @ house upto £70,000.
    We can manage a 20% deposit not a problem as that will be around 15k.
    Is their anyone that will look @ our case, and if so what paper work do we need.

    Cheers in advance
