Credit Check by potential employer

Hi there
I have got through 2 interviews for a job with a company of IFA's as an administrator. Think it has gone well and will find out on Tuesday/Wednesday.
However, as they are FSA registered I assume they will credit check me? No one has mentioned it so far and it wasn't on any of the information given to me.
I am currently in a DMP with 3 companies, 1 of which has defaulted me, anyone know how badly this will be viewed? My current employer is FSA registered but was pretty cool about it as I was dealing with it and not running up any more debt.
Any advice appreciated, just panicking a bit.

It depends on the check the do. I currently went through some pre-employment checks for a new job and it was only public records they viewed.
Not sure if DMP's are public or not, if they ask your permission to do a credit check on you then its an indication they are carrying out a full check.Bad luck breeds bad luck.

I had what they said was a credit check for TFL and I have no CCJ's or anything over due or late or unpaid etc and they said I failed so you really have no idea what they will be looking forWe’ve had to remove your signature.

Not a lot you can do about it, so wait and see what turns up, and be honest about dealing with the problems if they raise any issues.0
