It is far to easy to do credit checks on people these days and the results are used in many ways to determine behavior and lifestyles that may be problematic. An attitude like this would be considered a problem with many employers.

right, one reason that employers use credit checks it to see fi someone can handle money.
also, if someone has creditors calling for them, or owe huge debt they may not be able to focus on the job and are worried about payments etc.
I don't believe it but it is what I've been told by HR.
