I recently changed jobs but back in 2011 I was on year 3 of the iva and had to go through security clearance - the orange form type not just the ctc stuff and failed but upon appeal and showing iva reviews and payments all good etc they cleared me
Now iva was completed last dec and got my certificate in feb I've got a chance of being seconded to another role - again security clearance req because of access to some data also used by police
The last clearance I had was a high one done by Scotland Yard and again on appeal they cleared me but now I'm out of the iva I'm still fretting they're gonna fail me
Advice from you wonderful people appreciated as always x
Hi nice to hear from you again...you say you're out of the IVA now and got your certificate have you checked your credit files? Has the IVA come off there and the insolvency register if so you should be good to go so to speak. Not had to go through any security like that but others might have so hopeful of more replies.
Your post will also give reassurance to others and the appeal procedure being successful when in an IVA.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
I finished last dec and got the certificate in feb this year
So I doubt it will be off my file til dec 2014 but I passed the last one mud way through the iva
I really want this opportunity and it will be embarrassing if I don't get it cos If they release me from my current post then I have to go back questions will be asked
I'm not sure what Scotland Yard's specific rules are, but if my memory serves me right the orange forms are just for a basic security check - and should not require you to disclose any financial information.
Well still working for same company as when started the iva
3 years ago I had to do this form but it was orange then because part if my work involved working with police on tasks and they failed me initially but as I was able to show of been in the iva three years with good payments they cleared me
Now I'm hoping its a similar case as again working with police on tasks ie sharing intelligence and obv iva is over so I'm hoping it will be ok
Ps hope you're well and thankyou for guiding me through the 5 years
Hi Having served in the armed forces and a current holder of SC security clearance all I can advise is that you are totally honest in answering the questions on the vetting forms. My IVA finished in Feb 2013 but still waiting for CC and last year i had to re-new my SC clearance and had no problems in getting it.
The letter from the vetting board even congratulated me on my openness and honesty as i declared County Court judgments i had in 1988 and the fact i was fined £25 for not having a TV license in 1985.
The whole idea of security clearance is to check and see if you are trustworthy enough to handle what ever secure information is required for your job.
Just remember that if your are trying to get PV clearance you will be asked lots for personal information about your extended family which again you need to be honest about and be prepared to be quizzed on the information you submit.
I just saw on your post above that the form was a NSV which is National Security Vetting so quiet high level. You can check on the different levels here http://www.security-clearance.org.uk/
Good luck with the application.

If you are.....Met firearm, diplomat protection, tsg then you need the very high SC, DV vetting,6 months wait.
If you are not police/staff then there are equivalent vetting grades for joes.Very rare are they needed.
From what you say what you are doing....It sounds like met standard vetting and the old ctc.
MET police officers are at least cleared to ctc.
The met values it's own vetting process and require also the national security checks unlike country police constabulary
There might be a question on 'have you been on an iva in the last 6 years'.Make sure that is answered properly with all details etc.
Don't see any issues....
