It's discrimination, just because someone had a hardship, or wasn't good at handling credit cards on uni, it does not mean they cannot perform their duties superbly. If the decision to fire someone or withdraw an offer has anything to do with something else than skillset and abilities it should be illegal, especially if someone already resigned from a job, since in that case, the damage caused by the discriminative act is immense, and probably life changing for the worst. No government should allow the taxpayer being treated like this, and live with the fear it brings, that's not why those sitting in parliament are elected. If MPs care for their voters, they should make sure that the average people are protected from this absolutely outraging form of discrimination.

I applied for a job as an administration assistant, nothing to do with handling money.

Because I had a CCJ, they did not want to know.

Having even 1 CCJ is starting to make people unemployable as more and more companies are doing these pre employment checks

Now they have the cheek of performing credit checks for corporations in the UK and stopping Joe public from obtaining a job as a means to get out of debt

This is yet another control mechanism.
