UK Security Pass

[bigwullie]

My previouse company refuse to acknowledge requests from a new employer for confirmation of employment to obtain a security pass, potentially a pass might not be issued.
Anybody come across this before and know the solution......

You don't say if this is a UK company, but if it is, the UK Inland Revenue will confirm the dates you were employed at a company. You can get them to issue you a letter confirming all your employment dates, or dates at a specific company. Of course, if a company has gone out of business, I can't see any other way of doing it, except by going to the HMRC.

I don't know what the legal position is, but a company should be able to confirm your employment dates, but may refuse to answer any specific questions. This can be quite common with today's litigious society.

As I understand it, as I am British been offshore for 20 years, currenty in UAE, my previous company in UK, (20 years ago), went bust, and my recent previous company in UAE, took same route, that I am UNEMPLOYABLE IN UK.

But if I was an illegal alien, I would be OK.
