Contacting NSVS for SC application

[bibbitybobbityboo]

Bit of an issue that im hoping someone can advise on… partner asked some random questions a few weeks ago about ever having a CCJ or defaults etc… I answered no, as I’m embarrassed and would hate him to think any less of me. Didn’t think anything of it then a few days ago found out it was for SC for a contracting job…. We have no linked accounts or finances/bills etc so this won’t show on his credit file…. But if they check mine it will show (I have a couple of defaults due to going on a dmp. Been paying the DMP for over 1 year without issue and all debt it now managed. No CCJs)
im absolutely fine to disclose this to the vetting people… but my worry is they will think he lied when actually, he didn’t have any idea about my finances. Can I get in touch with the NSVS to let them know about this? Or as its sole debt in my name, and not the applicant, am I overthinking it?

I'd suggest you need to discuss it with your partner first. That relationship should be your priority. If he finds out that he doesn't get a job because you lied to him, it's not showing much honesty between the two of you. Discuss it with him and then let him take it up with those carrying out the checks.

You need to tell him. He tells NSVS. Then everything is fine. For SC honesty is key.

He ought to have mentioned why he asked, or perhaps you should have been more curious? Vetting can be quite invasive, from I've heard, and it's not good to share another person's data without saying what it's for.

Even though HWMBO knows where I've lived for the past 5 years, when his son was being vetted he told me about it and asked if I was ok with my address history data being provided. I then made sure he had accurate address information and move in/out dates.
