Computer maintenance Job HSBC requiring credit check

Hello everyone,

Recently applied for a contract job building up system computers at a HSBC building.

They require a credit check and I am slightly worried my many current accounts and recent credit card application may look bad?

I recently had 2 current accounts refused, first direct and m&s.

When HSBC perform this credit check will they ONLY be looking at the fraud/ccj/laundering aide of my history?

I have never missed a payment or had any of the above happen to me so I'm hopeful the checks not to also look at my actual credit rating as say someone loaning me money would look up?

Advice would be greatly appreciated.
