Loan scheme and sc clearance

[pjh]

Afternoon all,

I got caught up with the the loan scheme debacle a few years ago and settled just so I could put this all behind me. I was approached recently about a role working for a consultancy on a Government project (which will require SC clearance). Any ideas if the a loan charge enquiry could potentially impact me being approved for SC clearance ?. Any would I need to declare this?.

Cheers
Phil

We keep saying the same answers to all such questions.... perhaps we need a sticky...

a) we don't - in fact can't - know.

b) fill in the forms and see what happens.

c) we also don't know what criteria the people doing the assessment will be using..

d) if in doubt, tell them. Use a separarte piece of papaer if there's nowhere obvious on the forms.

However I think it unlikely to be an issue since you have repaid everything, but you can never be certain.

Great - Thanks for the reply... it would also be good to hear from anyone who has been through this recently and if they faced any issues during the process.
