Credit Checks Lloyds contractors (one default)

Credit checks at Lloyds

Thanks everyone for some sound advice. The agency concerned is Reed in this instance although as everyone has said honesty is the best policy on this one and I was thing of declaring it upfront. However if you don't need to then I will not . I will not be working on a direct clients accounts etc but I do know that RBS for example virtually check everyone and are pretty strict regarding this.
Everyone should be entitled to the odd slip up or dispute and this is the first default in over 35 yrs working life that I have ever had.

Am at Lloyds at the moment, really enjoying it. Don't recall having a credit check when I started, but that was 18 months ago and have slept since then.

Boomed too as just got renewed for another 6 months!!!

If you don't declare it and they do a simple check with the agencies then you will have attempted to deceive them which is infinitely more serious than a declared default with a short explanation.
They will be thoroughly used to people not having a spotless record.

I'm with LBG just now and really enjoying it. My agency said it wasn't a full credit check as such, but did want me to let them know of anything I thought might count against me before they submitted my details. They said the bank were basically looking for CCJs and the like.

Personally, having worked at LTSB in Halifax last year, I wouldnt bother and look for another role! Its that bad.

I'm surprised you didn't like it at HBOS. I did a 12 month stint there ending last year and I really enjoyed it. Strolling down to the restaraunt to get a butty in the morning, and then down to the Starbucks for a Latte. Easy life !!

I've moved onto a place with a small kitchen where you are lucky if you can find a tea spoon, and end up stirring your coffee with a corkscrew

Buy a tea spoon and keep it in your pocket.
