Just thought I would post that having an iva is not the end of the world in reference to job applications. Since being in an iva I hate the bit on job applications about your credit history. I completed the application form honestly about my debt and at the interview I explained I was in an iva. I was worried this would go against my application and nearly did not bother as the company is a law firm however they called and offered me the job[:D] so just to show honesty is the best policy and some companies do look favorable at iva's when recruiting.

Congratulations on your new job. xxx

Great news on the new job. Glad some companies dont treat people who are in IVA's like bank robbers!!

Congratulations on getting the job....good to hear there are companies out there who value the person and are not judgemental.

Good luck in your new employment xx

I would never prejudice against anyone coming to my firm for a job who had had debt difficulties - in fact it would probably be a bonus!

Well done on getting the job from me as well!

i think you would be spoilt for choice then melanie.but i totally agree with your comments,you need to make mistakes to improve in all walks of life,anybody who hasn,t done anything wrong in life has,nt done anything.well done northgirl.[:)]

I was credit checked for my old job...but it was part of the security clearance, I don't think they cared if I had bad credit as long as my employer was aware of it,meaning I couldn't be blackmailed over it into releasing national security information.

I applied to a company before, just a basic admin job and they would not take anyone on who had even missed a mortgage payment [:0] bet in the current climate they did not have many applications. Thanks for all the lovely congratulation messages everyone.

Fantastic news re the job, I hope you enjoy x

Congratulations and well done. Again, this shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks

Northerngirl well done and many congratulations.

Smiled at Melanies reply......I suppose experience can be a benefit in some employments.
