When did I start work for current company

Options
I started work in the Civil Service in 1990.
I got TUPE'd out to "Company a" in 2007
They got taken over by "Company b" in 2009
I then got TUPE'd across to "Company C" in 2012

According to my personnel records with "Company C" my date of joining is 2012 however it also states my "Statutory date of joining" as 1990.

On the Financial Status Reference it says I "have been employed by "Company C" since 1990".

If I'm applying for store credit what do I say when they ask how long I've worked for my present employer?

Please help!

    I'm not an expert but I believe your TUPE rights should continue your service from 1990 - present

    May be best to get this post moved onto the Employment forum though

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    1990. You have effectively been with the same employer since then even if the legal entity employing you has changed.

    Put the longest reasonable date. They can't check.
