Refused DV (developed vetting) clearance

[TreeOfLife]

Apologies if this question/query has been answered on here before.

As the title suggests, I was recently refused DV clearance for a job in the defence undustry. With the exception of a ccj in 2014, my background is totally clean (no criminal convictions etc.) and I've never been in trouble with the law. Moreover, I was completely accurate/honest in answering all of the questions posed in the dv vetting application form and, since the ccj in 2014, my credit rating has also steadily improved. I'm totally confused therefore as to why the vetting agency would refuse me clearance, could the ccj from 2014 still affect my application? Can I appeal their decision?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

To be serious for a moment, why do you think something as sensitive as failing a DV vetting is anything of concern for people who don't hold DV clearance? It's about assessing your suitability for handling material at Top Secret and above. If you fail, they sure as hell aren't to explain why, if only to prevent other people working out how to get around the vetting.

For that reason there is no appeal. It's done, you have to move on. It probably won't harm you getting an SC, which is one consolation.

And one more thought - you have blown any future chance of DV by talking about it on an open forum. It's called "secret" for a reason. If you don't believe me, go read the first half dozen pages of the OSA.

To be serious for a moment, blah blah.

You are too kind.

The poster is an idiot.

Oh and they posted a "serious" thread in General - so they can't read either.

Looks like a good call at vetting.

Isn't there something in the Official Secrets Act that says you can't mention that you've signed it?
