[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My credit score is absolutely not an indicator of what type of person I am. I ran into financial troubles several years ago and I'm still trying to work my way out. I guess I could have cheated and stolen to pay my bills on time but that's not the kind of person I am. I wouldn't agree to a credit check. It's none of their business and I wouldn't want to work for a family who used that to judge me. [/quote]

While you may think you are a good person, why did you take out credit, loans, or sign up for services that you couldn't afford?[/quote]

I took out loans to put myself through grad school. I was young and dumb and also depended on credit cards to help me with my bills while I student taught and wasn't getting a paycheck. When I graduated I didn't find a teaching job for 2 years and worked as an aide. So yes, I was ignorant and should have been more responsible about my finances but it was several years ago and it certainly doesn't make me a bad person. I haven't even used a credit card in 4 years but it's still going to take some time to get out of the hole.

It must be nice to have never made mistakes in your life. [/quote]

When interviewing nannies wouldn't you rather pick someone that hasn't had a life full of mistakes and bad judgement? [/quote]
Going to grad school and then struggling to find a job are mistakes? Bad judgement? [/quote]
