I just got offered a SA position and the firm is doing a background check. I’m slightly worried because I have a little credit card debt (6k~) and I know that they can access credit information. However, I make payments on it each month, and my credit history is otherwise good (paid a mortgage every month for years). Am I just worrying for no reason? Never been in legal trouble except for a DUI 9 years ago.
If your credit score is fine it shouldn’t be a problem. But aren’t credit card interest rates astronomical? Might be worth taking out more student loans to pay off that balance tbh…
Yeah I’m planning on paying it off with students loans. Just got lazy about it. Thanks for the reply.
You don’t have a judgment against you right? Just carrying a balance month to month?
This ranks behind parking tickets in terms of things to be concerned about
can the same be said for incoming associate? I assume they run another credit check?
Correct, just carrying a balance. Made a payment like 3 days late once cause I was busy and forgot about it.
lol, good. Figured I was being neurotic, but after the hell that was 2 months of OCI, I just want everything to go off without a hitch.
Not OP. Are things like negligent driving citations a worry?
Felonies are probably a worry at most.
