Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Please can anyone who works for a bank help me. I have just applied for a job with RBS and have a face to face interview soon my question is will they still employ me if I have a default on my credit file?
I have an excellent credit history over six years, however the default occured in dec o5 for 600 which is fully paid after I was off work long term sick. I have put a notice of correction on my credit file.
I have recently taken out a big loan with the rbs as they said my credit score is very good with them, so i hope the fact i have a good history but an old paid default will not stop me from getting the job.
also just to be cheeky can amyone inform me what sort of thing to expect at me interview, i have never worked within a bank I come from a travel background.
I am sure i read somewhere on hear that a student applied to the bank and he was worried about the fact he had a default, but i think he was honest with them and he got the job !! his was a paid default.
1. Have you given them written permission to check your credit status? If not they can't.
If you have given them permission it's unlikely (in my opinion) to cause a problem. I know of quite a few Bank Staff who got their jobs with Credit References that were very much less than perfect.
2. If the default is marked as "settled" and there is a notice of correction on it I doubt it will cause a problem.
As you have taken a loan with them i think it's highly unlikely it's going to be a problem, however I think it may be wise to discuss it with the Human Resources people if you are offered a post.
Always best to be honest and up front in these situations.
3. I can't help with the interview as I never worked for RBS. However I may be able to give you some pointers if you can disclose what the role you have applied for is.
You said you have a face to face interview, can I infer from that that you have had a telephone interview? If so, what sort of things were asked?
Good Luck and pop back to give us some more info on the job. I'm sure there will be someone who has either been in a similar role or interviewed for such.

I too don't work for RBS but I think I can use my expereience of the industry to make a guess what the interview will be like (so long as it is in the retail area)
I can tell you first hand on this one...... I THINK they should be ok. I had an app turned down, simply because the debt was outstanding, otherwise I'd have been fine.
The interview is likely to be competency based: give me of an example when you.......
provided outstanding customer service
worked well as part of a tem
resolved a tricky situation
hope this helps, and good luck!
