Be honest as you could be fired from the new job if you hide information as for the old job you shouldn't have a problem.

It's more fun to tell lies and be deceitful though; it gives me a little tingling feeling.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Best people to check that out with would probably be the Financial Services Authority (FSA). http://www.fsa.gov.uk/

My understanding is that unless the post is one where you are required to be accredited/regulated by the FSA you are legally fine. But the recruitment policies of individual firms are theirs to decide on.

That is the position I have seen "quoted" by others, but I would urge you to check it out yourself.

With respect to the bankruptcy, even if it does not appear on your CRF's it will still be recorded and searchable in the London Gazette and the Registry Trust's Register of Judgements.

Depending on the purpose of any credit/security check these sources can be and sometimes are checked.

Well I've just sent the HR lady an email advising her my predicament explaining that I have always worked within finance no problem and that it was a dormant joint a/c my ex held that he used without my permission...so in there hands

Hello,

just wanted to add my two pennies worth.

I understand employers don't want corrupt fraudsters working for them, but I'm sure most b/rs & discharged b/rs are honest hard working people who didn't get themselves into this position on purpose and now its happened just want to work, live normally, get on & would never dream of being dishonest in any way. I'm a civil servant (yes, I'm one of them) and I was asked to declair any b/r's which I did, even though I wasn't dealing with any money They did check it out, I had a nail-biting wait, but got the job, and can do the job just as well as anybody who's never had to live through such a stressful thing as b/r is.
