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.0 -
