    Usually letting agencies only check your public credit file i.e. checking that you don't have any CCJs or are bankrupt.

    They might use other information to check affordability though such as your income versus the rent.

    Don't pay for credit scores made up by credit referencing agencies. There is no universal credit score and the credit referencing agencies don't lend money so who cares what score they award you.
  • Ok brilliant that's good news is defiantly don't.have ccj or bankruptcy just a few late payments and I can prove I earn enough and am in employment in was just worried about that score effecting us
