Debt and other half!!

I'm new here and just been browsing, for some inspiration really, some very helpful people and posts!!! Just wondering if anyone has any info regarding debts and joining police? My oh tried but was knocked back(reason withheld). On his application he put his debts but since mine in my name only never thought they would be needed, but when trying to rack brain as to why refused I thought of this reason!!!! Any inspiration/ideas ????:mad:

    Most (if not all) Police forces run a credit check on prospective recruits. I think the reason for this is if you have had difficulties in paying off creditors and are desperate for cash you may be susceptible to bribery.

    Likewise working for financial institutions where you may find yourself handling sums of money with a temptation to commit fraud.

    Could be wrong about this.
