Sirs,
I had a question regarding getting my Top Secret Clearance and my credit history. I recently signed a DD Contract(02XX/26XX), however the field requires a Top Secret Clearance.
I've never been in trouble with the law, super clean(not even a parking/speeding ticket!), however I don't have very good Credit. The buraeu still rates it as "fair", but I've missed maybe five payments each on two difference credit cards, as well as up to 90 days backpay on a student loan.
It was due entirely to losing a job, I had to move back to my home town after a bad semester at college, which led to not being able to find employment. It was not at all due to just being lazy or foolish with money, simply a sulmination of loss of employment and other family finance trouble(had to give a lot of money to my parents!).
Should I worry about that credit or should I be okay? The total debt to my name is less than five thousand dollars.
Thank you,
Poolee Zach Turnlund
