I work in financial services and so credit checks are an important part of background screening, job applications etc.
I've always been careful about paying bills etc. on time and passed all checks so far.
But I just logged in to my internet banking after a week and I noticed that have been between £40-£120 overdrawn for a week. :(
It's been a very busy week and I haven't had time to log in and check my balance, and this overdraft is probably the result of grocery shopping etc. I immediately transferred money from my savings to my current account to get rid of the overdraft and I am in credit now.
I am just wondering how much of an impact something like this has on credit checks for jobs etc.? I have seen in the past that a couple of overdrafts have shown up in my Experian report as those orange dots- does this mean you fail the check?
I'm just so worried about this, would love an expert opinion,
