Default Letting agents.a new attitude to bankrupts

hi all,

was just wondering how to start a campaign for bankrupts who are forever having problems renting after losing their homes.

I just dont see the mentality behind letting agents,like the bankrupt has no debt so there for is a lower risk than someone whos going to sign upto a long term lease with piles of loans and visa card debt the credt scoring process really need stobe looked at on this urgently.Because there is going to be 100s of thousands going br over the next 2 yrs and as we all know there are zero housing stock via councils/housing associations apart for those who sit in that special criteria which i wont describe here

it just seems crazy you go to a letting agent be up front with thenm about your br status they say ok give us 250.00 we will need to run a credit score on you which will come back a 100%failure.

any ideas apart from private lanlords which in my area are very few.

i also think its unreasonable to ask for 6mths up front rent, plus another mths deposit even when working getting together 3to 6k depending on where you live would take some doing.

anyway off to find the nearest field with me tent and lap top.

regards
