Company CRB and credit check

All,

Hope you can help,

My wife works in the account dept of a large london based solicitors, she has been with the company fo 10 years and has a perfect employee record. She is not an accountant but a accounts clerk.

The company want to performa CRB check and Credit check, we have no issue with the CRB but our worried about the CC. She has had major Crdit card debt and Personal loan debt, she has spent years trying to sort this and has a payment plan in place for all debts. we do however have a attachment on our mortage because of this.

She is really worried, to the point of breakdown she is going to be sacked, is this possible?. also if a credit check is run against the address do I not have a say in if it can be done?.

Thanks in advance.

Steve,

    Morning Steve,

    I work for a govt tax collecting organisation, as an office based tax collector, I have now completed 74 months of an 84 month Debt Management Plan with no problems BUT I informed my boss of my situation when I commenced the DMP.

    My suggestion would be that of they ARE going to run a credit check, that she tells them in advance. (I assume they are running these checks because she works in the accounts office OR are they being done on everybody ? - I would ask myself).

    As long as she is keeping to the terms of the DMP I cant see any reason why she would be in trouble - in fact she should be commended for wanting to deal with the problem.
