Calls from dissolved agencies?
I wouldn't spend too much of time researching on the financials of the Agencies. As long as they can secure me an interview telephonic/face-to-face.

RBS Basic credit check
Done that long time ago with RBS, also known as PES-Kroll (Pre-Employment Screening). Should be fine as long as you're not having CCJ's or other serious debt issues. You'll be an employee to them, and not a customer to RBS :smile.- jkdaniel
