In general, being under debt review should not negatively impact your ability to get a job in the future. Debt review is not a criminal or legal matter, and it should not appear on a background check. However, some employers may require a credit check as part of the hiring process, especially for positions that involve handling money or financial information. In such cases, if you are under debt review, it could potentially affect the employer’s decision to hire you.
It’s important to note that the National Credit Act prohibits discrimination against consumers who are under debt review, so employers cannot refuse to hire someone based solely on their debt review status. However, it’s best to be honest and upfront with potential employers about your financial situation and explain the steps you are taking to address it.
