Rent to buy credit score

Hi
Does anybody know what credit score is needed to qualify for rent to buy. Our credit is very bad but we've gone through our credit report and contacted every company who wee owe money and set up repayments. Between us we have 8 ccj's all within the last 2 years and we wouldn't look to do rent to buy for another 2 to 3 years by which time all our debts will be paid but still showing on our credit report. Any advice would be great.
Thanks
