Quick Answers to Bankruptcy Questions & Understand How Bankruptcy Laws Affect You

Does bankruptcy effect my chances of getting a job in a banking call center?

bankruptcy law

I don’t believe I would be handling any money. And why would it matter any way> Isn’t that discrimination? If so does any one know a sight where I can view the law that says this? Also I was pretty much offered the job, they said I was perfect for it. so if they don’t call me I will know why.

    ‘Affect’ not ‘effect’…

    It depends on the company. Some companies now require credit checks prior to employment in addition to drug screening as well as other checks. It is these companys belief that if you manage credit well you are a better employee because it may indicate you are better organized or a more responsible person than someone who doesnt. Other companys simply don’t care.
    It really isn’t discrimination because a company can put any requirement they want for a job to get the type of person they want. I have known companys to never hire anyone with more than a month of unemployment. Other companys require a college degree for a job even though the job duties don’t really require it. I have gotten rejection letters saying the job was already filled and then seen advertisements the next week for the same job.
    Is this legal? yes Fair? no
