Hi, if you fail the credit check, due to a low score and you require a guarantor, do landlords accept guarantor companies, that cover missed rent and damages etc? Some don’t seem to and I don’t know why not, they are probably a safer bet than having an individual as a guarantor.

There is a good company that I have found who I would pay £20 a month to and if anything happened they would cover missed rent/damages etc to the landlord.

I think the landlords concern might be more to do with the failed referencing than the guarantor company. Why is this person likely to fail referencing?

Additionally, dealing with insurers (rent or damage) is a whole heap of hassle that most landlords really don’t want.
