Hi I wonder if someone could give me some advise.....my head is pounding thinking about this and I have no one to talk.
I currently work for the government...have done for over 20 years. I am about to be offered a job by a contractor who works for the government. My salary will by £15-20K more than it is now..sounds good I know, my only problem is that if/when they do a security check they will decline their offer. They said that they do a 192 check on new people for approx £40...does anyone know what that is? They didn't say they will do one on me but they just mentioned in passing.think i am unique to them in that they are nicking me from the government who they do work for as opposed to someone off the street. Whatever checks they do i will be fine except for the obvious, a credit check. I was lucky enough not to have a CCJ, but had a few default notices whilst my IVA was going through. Do credit checks class IVA and Bankruptcy in the same catergory or not? My terms and conditions in my current employement say that i have to notify my line management on Bankruptcy and it is up to their judgement what they do (or not). No one knows about my IVA...and I do mean no one! I defiantley have a Basic Security Clearance...might even have full as I can go anywhere and read anything except secret stuff. I know some of you might say be up front with the contractor and tell them in advance...I feel upset and tearful just at the thought of talking to someone about it. I can't help feeling ashamed. I am into my 3rd year and it has gone relatively smoothly to date. They may just take me on assuming that everything is ok because of the job i am currently in...I just don't know. Just scared of it all coming out and leaking back to where i currently work as the contractor is quite friendly with one or two of my colleagues....including my immediate boss. I have done so well in containing my situation...it is stressful though and I have no one to talk about it ....well other than you lovely helpful people on here.
Just don't want to miss out on an opportunity to better myself and make life more comfortable for me, albleit giving my creditors nearly double what they get know...but I don't mind that.
