    You need to find a broker and put the full details in front of them. As an example, one lender says this;-
    No more than one county court judgment (CCJ) or default, which must have been satisfied within 3 months of issue, with a total value not greater than £500, within the last four years.
    and you need to be able to fully explain the default, how much, when registered, when satisfied etc. to give the broker the best chance of finding a possibility for you.
