    My credit score is horrific, quite a lot of problem debt (working on it!) but I had no problem when I was "credit" checked for my job working in finance (I'm aware of the irony). It does tend to be more about things like CIFAS markers etc, afaik.
    On the up :D

    Because it's a law, and therefore we're all legally bound to abide by it.

    People working with sensitive information are generally required to sign a copy, but this is really a "reminder". You are legally bound by the official secrets act whether you have a signed a document stating so or not.
