Hello All,
I have just been offered a new job and will be given a company credit card for travel and fuel expenses. I'm not 100% sure which card this will be but I think the company issues Amex Green corporate charge cards.
I'm in an IVA will threre be a credit check for the card? Will I fail it? It won't be an option to not use one and I imagine if I failed to get the card and it all came out I would be let go!

If it is a company card with you just as a named user you should be OK. However, if it is to be in your name (i.e -- you get the bills and are responsible for making the payments) then you will, in all probability, be credit checked.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

During my IVA I also changed jobs, a requirement was to have an Amex green corporate card for expenses. I was kacking myself with worry over the 'credit' check I was told would be carried out. All unfounded as there wasn't a hitch or a question raised, the card turned up in the post 10 days after filling out the forms.

Hi, I had exactly the same situation, and the company issued me with an HSBC card, who wee one f my creditors. It wasn't a problem as the account was in the name of the company so it would say you have nothing to worry about.
