Hello
I am very keen to move to a new property with my two year old. We were left while I was pregnant so i haven't been able to work very much for two and a half years as I have no childcare, and although i have a bank account that is in the black, i don't have a huge amount of money in it, especially as my Hbenefit has been going to my current landlord for a year now. My potential new landlady (private rental) says she wants to take up a bank reference. I gave her my guarantor's details and she said no, she wants mine. Even though I am lucky enough to have a guarantor, i am now really nervous she will say no to us - this is an ideal property for us where i will feel safe from my child's father and his threatening family. Does anyone have any ideas as to whether my bank check will come back "bad"? I am not in debt but it does't look like i could pay the rent from it. She didn't ask whether I would be getting housing benefit or not but was once a single mother with a young child herself and seemed to be ok with me, either way, when i said i had a guarantor. My bank manager actually just told me that a third party can't even do a check on my account at Santander. So now i am even more confused! Any advice at all would be much appreciated. 1000 thanks in advance. x
