just a quick update! I have been given a start date, but they conducted an extensive background check (credit check) on me. I never declared the defaults but they found out and asked me to prove that there is a payment plan in place or the offer would have been withdrawn (just because of unpaid phone bills!).

Originally posted by tarbera View PostOp never put a payment plan in place, it's still at default status, at rbs we once had 8 out of 13 offers withdrawn for defaults from £500 to a few K, most of the people were unaware they had defaults (ex wives, partners, moving banks and dd not been moved over, fraud by others in own account, working abroad for 6 months and forgetting to pay gas bill etc) people for roles that never touch customers or money ever ever a PMO for example

The client has said that they want to see evidence of a payment plan. To not do that risks the role.
You might be right this time, that it being settled will be enough, but that’s not what’s been asked for. The OP needs to play their game.Last edited by Lance; 10 March 2018, 13:11.See You Next TuesdayComment

Holding his hands up would have just got him kicked out sooner in the process as I have seen many timesComment
