credit check

[queenie011]

applied for a job with a security company.
they need a credit check.
had a look at my own credit check.
no ccj"s or defaults, but 3 missed payments in last 6 months.
how strict are security companies, will this rule me out of the job.

different companies have different criteria so not nessecerily.
they are checking your credit situ to ensure that you wouldn't be pressured because of external influences.
generally they would discuss reasons for probs and how you will sort it out and may then recheck in 6 months or so
