Hi.
Its been a long time since I have looked for advice from you guys.
My husband and I were discharged from TD in April of 2014! having religiously paid for the proceeding 3 years.
My husband got made redundant recently and has been successful in securing a job but on the pre employment check it asked if he had "ever" had a trust deed. It is to work in a FS company but will have no contact with anything finance.
We both have excellent credit scores now having worked hard.
I would be so gutted for him if this came back and smacked us in the head!
If you are not going to have direct money contact can they refuse your employment?

Hi behindusnot and welcome back!
It's up to individual employers what criteria they apply to who they are prepared to employ.
It seems unlikely that a completed trust deed from eight years ago would be perceived as a significant current risk, but different employers are entitled to take their own view on this.
Personal financial status can be an important aspect within a risk control process for certain types of employers that are required to mitigate risk. This is especially relevant in financial services, some professions, and some disciplined types of work.
I hope it all works out OK for your husband.
