Renting problems- credit check

What happens if you and your family need to move but you won't pass a credit check due to a previous CCJ/IVA (within 6 years) and no friends or family to act as guarantees?

You could try offering a few months rent in advance as a deposit?

Some landlords might not mind if you speak to them directly.

Speak to council housing. Some offer support to get you into private rentals if you'd pass the affordability check but not the credit check. Always worth the conversation to see what support is available.
