I am currently renting from a private landlord, whom I have informed of my bankrupcty and he has no problem with it whatsoever. However, I would really love to move as the area I live in is far from pleasant and I'd love to move to a flat or house in a nicer area. The problem is most properties in the town are only available through letting agents and I know its difficult to go through these as they do credit checks. Does anyone have experience of this and if so, would there be any chance of being able to get a property through letting agents while you are bankrupt if you explain your position to them? If not, I cannot see myself ever being able to move ever again. Its crazy that you could have an excellent credit rating but be up to your neck in debt, but they allow you a property. But if you are bankrupt, but have no debts as such and more likely to be able to pay rent easily, they don't want to know. I know bankruptcy has penalties, but everyone deserves the right to have somewhere decent to live surely? xmas baby [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
