    Always happy to be corrected especially when its good news! I thought all banks did an enhanced credit check for employees and turned anyone down who wasnt kosher. Had a friend turned down for a callcentre job because of some defaults. But obviously not all are the same
    All 3 jobs ive had since uni have mentioned credit checks which is pretty standard in finance but nobody has ever mentioned anything when mines come back and without a doubt its never looked pretty!

    In a minimum wage job i cleared £8k of debt, its just a question of chipping away at it. As my credit rating was already screwed i spoke to quite a few of my creditors and they froze the interest after i exlained i couldnt afford to pay them back
