This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Credit reports and checks take into account the payment history of applicants including rental payments, and this is a matter for individual credit reference agencies in cooperation with lenders, not the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
