Manny - as you can see you've come to the wrong place for the help and advice you need. All you'll get here is a load of finger wagging from a gaggle of sanctimonious trolls.


Good luck to you. We all get things wrong from time-to-time, except the contributors here, of course.

It's not meant as 'finger wagging', not from my POV anyway, but there's no point not being honest with the OP. As I said I've worked in the banking sector on cases like this, and quite often people do get dismissed for not being honest. The OP needs to know that, and I'd be doing him a disservice if my response was just 'Oh don't worry no one's perfect'.

So ive passed every check apart from one

Option 2 - say I changed banks through my employment and closed the account down so I cant get the statement....but I think banks might keep the statement for 6 years even after your closed the account down?

Could do with some advice? please

Can you afford the charges said bank might ask for the re producing of statements? There's no needing for the shaming here unless you went along with job lengths in an interview, as it would have been easily resolved at the stage (for any other time) but to be honest it's equally a poor show if they didn't explain the process accurately. (Can you edit the institutional name for this thread to lessen any further trouble bud)

5 years referencing is handling "sensitive customer data". (That's why in the nicest way possible) but are you are sure you have heard correctly? I found passport handling was 5 years referencing whereas to work in insurance sales at 2 years check able in the manor you describe which is deemed more financial services I'd have thought so you never know.

You got one job offer - you'll get another elsewhere at a clean second chance.

Thank You for the reply!

Would you recommend telling the HR manager at HSBC before I tell HireRight? Or should I just inform HireRight?

It was an stupid thing for me to do tbh, as i've had 2 more job since then which have more relevant experience

I think that depends on what you said in the interview regarding the job.

If you didn't discuss it much or at all, then in your situation I'd go back to Hireright and say you've got the dates wrong, I've got it mixed up with my end of college date or something, here's the evidence of when I was actually there... and hope they don't have an issue. They're probably more interested in the fact that you had the job in the first place than when you were actually there. If they do have an issue and they go back to HSBC with it, it would then be up to them to make a decision.

If you discussed it in the interview as being over the two years while you were there and HSBC kept a note of that then it's trickier..... If Hire Right to question it with HSBC's hiring manager you can expect your offer to be withdrawn.

I wouldn't put your post in the category of finger wagging. Yours was helpful.

Thank You !!!

If you don't mind... could I get your honest opinion of what you would do in this situation ?

Okay, first a couple of questions though. Did you put your college attendance and any qualifications from the college on your CV, and what's the timeline of your college attendance and the store job, including any overlapping?

TELLIT01

The natural assumption by the employer is that you lied to hide something. There is no logical reason to falsely extend a period of employment when you are at college, and attendance at college would be perfectly acceptable (and honest) on the CV.
Why do I get the impression we might not be getting the full story here?
The continuing attempts to find some way to cover up the reality of this period is worrying.

Aced2016

People are acting like she's robbed a bank !!!

Perfect people every where, call the company doing the checks and amend the dates just say you got mixed up.

If you get the job at least your starting off on the right foot.

And if not I'm sure you will get something else.

We don't all lie on our application forms. But you have a lot of employment law experience do you? Just asking because I can't recall seeing you here before, and obviously it's really useful to have a new experienced poster on the board. So, how would you defend a dismissal for gross misconduct when an employer finds out someone has lied on the application? Could you outline the potentials for criminal action against someone who has falsified their application form to obtain employment?

The OP was advised to be honest and say that there was an error on the form. Instead of accepting that, they are going to enormous lengths to try to cover up the lie they told. As Tellit01 has suggested, there is little logical reason for lying in the first place, for any reason. But having done so, telling more lies to cover it up is not the way to deal with it.

None. What's that got to do with spotting finger-waggers?
