hi, I'm 10 months off finishing my 5 year IVA and have been offered a job in the Personnel dept. of tesco bank. They apprently do credit checks will this prevent me from being able to take the job?
I've no idea I'm afraid - does it say anything on the application form? You could always make an anonymous phone call to HR to see what the stance is and it is probably best to let them know just in case.
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

I do know of a bank employee, in an IVA, and her bank is one of her creditors! So it can be done. But it depends on the particular bank's policies. It's best to tell them, rather than letting them find out, at least they will see that you are being honest and that you are addressing your debt responsibly.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Hi - banks credit check as standard but it shouldn't cause a problem unless you are actually a banker and even then there may be a work-round. It's best to be upfront and let them know before you send off the form so you can put your side forward. A number of posters have been credit checked and it hasnt yet stopped play. x

I had a job offer that ws subject to all sorts including credit check
It came back as I'm in IVA and payments up to date, which was fine with them but caused me worry.
The Job isn't connected to banks or giving advice about money etc
