    Hi Lisa,

    in my experience they won't not accept you as a rep. If they come across a bad credit score they might limit your order amount to start with or in the worst case scenario ask you to pay a deposit before placing an order. Especially as they get a lot of new reps signing up at this time of year to place orders for christmas, giving the products out as gifts themselves and then not paying. I've never known them to turn someone down though so don't worry too much. If you're concerned call the person who signed you up as a rep or your area manager as they will be able to help.

    I wasn't turned down and I don't think my credit rating is too hot at the moment! I love doing it, so I'm sure you will enjoy it too lisa!

    Hi, I was a rep for 5 years and yes they do credit check and sometimes refuse applications. It usually depends on Area Manager/Sales Leader that signs you up and on how bad it is.
