    Not heard of it I’m afraid.

    However, the same result of affecting credit score can be achieved by using direct debit instead of standing order as DD counts towards a credit score.

    We use GoCardless which is fantastic although we have it integrated into our software and not entirely sure how it’s used standalone (but we think it can be).

    This of course doesn’t guarantee the rent but, if you also got a home-owning guarantor, you’d be fairly close without having to pay the costs of insurance.
