Mortgage for adverse credit.....any ideas?!?

Options
Hi,
I'm considering looking for a mortgage to buy a house on a shared equity basis. I have bad credit, but am starting to get myself sorted. Has anyone else been in a similar situation, or bought a shared-equity scheme house??

My bad credit is actually relatively low. I had some personal circumstances that led to my credit becoming a problem, which then escalated!!!

Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated!!

    What kind of problems were they? CCJs? defaults?

    How long ago were they?
