My future employer wants to do a credit check and I think they are just looking for bankruptcies, but I have an account in collection. Is that just as bad or will that be okay? Thanks everyone.
Welcome I think it will depend on the employer and maybe how large the collection amount is and also what your function will be. I have had spotty credit for the past 7 years and that has included collections both paid and unpaid and I have obtained employment with 2 consulting companies in the Big 5 and with one of biggest financial companies in the world and also with a smaller consulting company and they all checked my credit. I didn't have a ton of collections but I probably had maybe 3 or 4 each time some paid a couple unpaid. To answer your question I don't think one will kill the deal but that's from my experience and others I know who have been in the same same situation. Good luck and I hope it works out for you and let us know what the results are.
