Hi i am currently on a debt mangement plan and pay 160 every month to 4 creditors, my question is i live in a rented property, if i was to move to another rented property and have to go through a credit check would i fail therefore fail to take on a new rented property, thanks?

    Usually not unless you have CCJs.

    If you stayed with the same rental agency would they still need to do another check?

    Be honest with them about it before hand and have a plan B in place - you may need a garuntor (sorry spelling bad I know! cant think how to spell it! lol)

    Hi there

    Letting agencies tend to do "soft" credit checks - this means they're looking for specific warning signs like CCJs and/or insolvency i.e. bankruptcy or Debt Relief Orders.

    Are you paying this debt management company a fee, or are you using one of the free charities like Stepchange?

    Hopefully you won't need a guarantor if you are able to reclaim your deposit from this property and transfer it across to the new one?

    Regards
