Can anyone help me? I have been recently laid off from work and was scheduled to interview with a company that does a prescreening process. My credit isn't the best, but I have been working hard to clear up old debt, etc. Never filed bankruptcy or anything like that. I just was notified that based on my credit history they are not proceeding with the process for employment. Does this seem fair? How can a company tell me "no" for a job that will not be dealing with money? They have no idea of what the circumstances were to get me in this financial mess. Any suggestions?


Your credit report is verified to judge your level of responsibility. Whether this is a valid assumption or not, but most employers believe that if you are not good in paying your bills, you are not suitable for their job, hence it puts a stain in your being a reliable employee. A bad credit report goes against you in the search of an employment.

Employers want to run a credit check not only because they want to know about your payment history, but to get the details of your former addresses and previous employees. This is basically done to verify the information when you filled the application form or resume.

Help03 Welcome to the forums. I had a neighbor that was applying for a job at a federal prision. They told him to file bankruptcy and they would hire him. You would think that would look worse I know. I dont think its fair either but most places are doing it now. Best Wishes KYSIDE38 :D :D
