What effects exist for obtaining employment during or adhering to a debt-relief order? I undoubtedly wouldn't mention it but could a potential employer discover? Could they?

What can I do next?

I'm sorry, but aren't you the same person who asked about becoming an accountant yesterday but with a different user name? Same non-English grammar and syntax, same off-topic subject, same general area of the country.

I'd answer your question, but I'm afraid I don't understand it. If you are in a debt relief program and trying to apply for a job, are you somehow violating the terms of the debt relief? Or are you simply concerned they will discover you've had problems with debt? Do not be dishonest about it if you are expected to disclose it. And yes, employers often do background checks and it will be easy to discover simply by checking with the credit unions.

ETA: Okay, Scott D., as a linguist and foreign language teacher, I'm pretty good at spotting errors that arise from an incomplete understanding of the English language. I will concede, however, that OP may simply lack a strong education in his or her native English language. "What effects exist for obtaining employment during or adhering to a debt-relief order" makes virtually no sense.

I will also take a moment to acknowledge Jim's insights and agree this poster should be starved. And will further share Veronica's amazement at Scott D's miraculous insight that after 5 years he should rise to the defense of a fellow newbie. Huzzah to you!

Non-English grammar and syntax? I don't see that. But I understand the concern about debt relief. Apparently, some employers actually will consider that a sign that the person has poor management skills or is irresponsible and use it as a check against the person. Which is really sad, because people get into financial trouble for many reasons that don't involve poor management or irresponsibility. Hopefully those employers are rare. But I agree, do not be dishonest. Most (or all) employers will use that as a big check against the person. There is no reason to bring it up at all, though, unless asked directly.

Are you afraid that if an employer finds out about your financial situation that they won't hire you?
Actually, some employers like hiring people who are in dire straights.
They think it means that they REALLY need the job and will work harder to please the employer to stay employed.

Many years ago after some massive medical debt and a flood in our town my husband and I had to file for bankruptcy. Trying to get back on our feet financially I applied for a job at a new movie theater chain which was opening in our town. After the interview they told me that pending the background check I would be hired as assistant manager. 2 days later I was called in for what I thought would be finalizing the paperwork. Only to be told that due to the bankruptcy they could not hire me for management. So yes it can happen.
