    As far as I am aware only criminal convictions/ sometimes cautions show up not fiscal issues.

    I've never had a problem, they don't do a credit check just criminal check

    Hi Kenneth,

    I'm sure that's not what they're looking for. My credit record won't be clear for another 5 years or so yet I successfully received my enhanced CRB check a few months ago.
    Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)
    Debt free success date: 14.8.2006 :j

    Zero possibility they will show up. Just your murder and drugs smuggling convictions...

    crb is just criminal records, they'll only see it if they do a credit check. (which some do :( ) but then others have said this already
  • Just to confirm what everyone else has said CRB checks are only on Criminal Records the information comes from the Police National Computer and other police systems (possibly) these do not contain financial information. The enhanced part is around the security risk in the job and a more indepth check is done by the CRB around criminal matters. So don't worry

  • Hi - a CRB check is for criminal convictions, and doesn't include credit matters, unless of course you've been convicted of a criminal offence (such as fraud, or theft) in relation to debt problems. For most jobs, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act applies, and convictions which are "spent" don't show up. For some jobs, such as working with children or vulnerable people, being a policeman or lawyer etc, convictions are never spent and have to be disclosed.

    Some jobs also do a credit check, but it's a separate deal.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
  • Thanks for all your reassuances!! i know they won't do a credit check , its for working in the nhs !!!
