Most companies do this [Morrison's do it for all Management positions] - You can have debt but obviously CCJs etc, could go against you, They basically assess how trustworthy as an employee based on your personal credit history you would be.:dance:Quidco Payments In 2011 - £724.21 :dance:

Having a CCJ doesn't mean you're not trustworthy.0

What does written offer say? If it says you have the job subject to satisfactory references then they won't do a credit check. If it says subject to references and a satisfactory credit check then you can worry.0

I agree - But with more and more companies now requesting this kind of information it would seem some companies think it does:dance:Quidco Payments In 2011 - £724.21 :dance:
