Hi Guys.

Okay, well it's coming up to crunch time and my future wife is looking for a new apartment/house for us to live. Anyway, she's a little worried about the credit check but we're hoping that as my credit is better than hers we might be able to secure ourselves a decent apartment, even though we live in SoCal. Any ideas about the best way for me to get a credit check in the UK? I've used sites like Experian before, but frankly the information they sent was pretty inadequate. Any other suggestions would be most appreciated. We're not sure what's the best way to go about these things.

My Husbands apartment complex in the US actually ran my National Insurance Number from England to check my credit to put me on the lease.

My apartment company in England used my husbands SSN from the US to check his credit for me to use him as my guarantor.

hope that helps

Its not a big deal. My hubby was added to our lease once he got his SSN. I don't think it matter what score/number you have as long as there are no negative remarks on it. Worst case the lease will be in your fiancee's name alone and you will be listed as living in the household. A
