I wonder if anyone can help here.
Currently trying to rent a property prior to downsizing. Own own home outright. No debt, good salary, pay credit cards off in full every month.
Went to sign a rental agreement but it was withdrawn after letting agency said was found there was a CCJ against me.
A total surprise.
Cannot find details (they gave me a reference number but no idea how to access info), but I suspect it might relate to a parking fee charged by a private company that my work was supposed to pay and never did. I remember just ignoring in the end and it went away.
Or so I thought.
£200 owed, apparently.
Not in a massive rush to rent, but thought I had all my ducks in a row - paperwork, finance stuff, self-employment invoices/remittances etc etc and then this came up.
How do I proceed?
Can I not rent until this is resolved?
How on earth do I resolve?
Any thoughts/info/experience would be greatly appreciated .
It seems crazy that some piffling little "debt" scuppered/delayed my plans...
