The HR person contacted me and "offered" me the position. I "accepted" and then she proceeded to explain benefits and what the next steps would be. When she explained to me that a "credit check" would have to be implemented, I explained to her that I filed C13 BK and why. After receiving my credit file, the HR representative explained to me that due to my bankruptcy and unpaid collection (final SMALL electric bill I forgot when I moved from GA), which I did not know was there, that she would have to "rescind" the job offer. The position was for a Project Manager and the job did not deal with any funds at all. The company overall accepts membership fees from users, however, the position that I accepted had NOTHING to do with that, however the HR representative added that I might see credit card information. I realize it was a losing battle and at that time they just did not want me anymore. I felt and still feel awful that because I filed BK, eventhough it is a 13 repayment plan, companies that run credit check would view me as a "thief" or one whom has comitted a "crime (felony)". Just venting. :-(
Are you atill actively in the repayment plan? I think some employers go too far with this. I am a SE contractor, I contract for credit card companies and one Fed position, both of which run credit checks and background checks and have never been denied due to this.
