Employment Details

Hi,

I'm signing up for a credit card for the first time. I wanted to know what details the credit card company shares with other people, and who with?

Do they share your employment details?

Thanks

    Yes is the answer to your question, National Hunter and CIFAS are aware of your Employment details through previous credit application you have submitted, so if in January you were stacking shelves in ASDA for £9500 per annum and in February you were the Store Manager for ASDA earning £52k per year this would flag up as suspicious.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
