Just a heads up on credit checks.................Don't just get them willy nilly. Every time a credit comnpany or hire purchase outfit does a check on you they have to ask your permission.
THE REASON:
Is because every time a check is done on you it effects your credit rating (badly).
I would be very hesitant about releasing any finanacial info to anybody unless you are completly sure its on the up and up.
Good luck getting back on your feet.
