    Hello Another71 community,

    Today I found out I made it through to the second round interview with KPMG. I am very scared and nervous now because of the credit check that is required to be able to work there. I have made some really bad decisions in my past especially when I turned 18 that has put a damper on my credit. I defaulted on a loan that I couldn’t afford back then, maxed out a credit card, and ran up a cell phone bill. All for the grand total of $3,500. All of which have been charged off and went to collections. In my effort to make things right, I have since paid off everything but it still shows on my report but only now they have a $0 balance. My question is do you think they would really care since I have made efforts to clean it up and pay them off? This is stressing me out because it is really embarrassing.

    I wouldn't worry about it to much. IF it comes up explain to them the situation, and be honest. However I wouldn't bring it up if they don't.

    A - 61, 91!!
    B - 78!
    F - 76!!!
    R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

    Finally done!

    This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

    They're not going to care. This is trivial.

    B - 89
    A - 80
    R - 78
    F - 86

    CIA, CFSA, MBA, MAcc (too many f'ing degrees and certs, I know, trust me)

    Do your best to maintain composure and whatever you do, do not volunteer any of this info unless it comes up! Good luck, you are almost there! Also get ready for possible drug test, just in case.

    Thank you UNC Macc and SeattleAccountant for the feedback. I think that since i'm less than $5000 and didn't file bankruptcy instead correct the problem by paying them off. I think that I should be good but we never know! Thanks again!
