What is the name of your state? Washington
I interviewed for a outside sales position with a company from Washington State. During the interview, nothing was said about credit or my background. The company offered me the job 2 days later. I accepted and started work a week after that. My first day of employment, they had me sign paperwork one of which was a consent to do a background/credit check. NOTHING was said that my employment would depend on the findings. 2.5 weeks into my employment and after buying a new cell phone and sigining a year contract with the carrier (which was required by my employer and they would reimburse) I was let go due to my credit which had gone down hill since my ugly divorce. I have no criminal history and my credit has only been bad this last year due to my divorce. My Credit was EXCELLENT up to that point. The company said they can't have someone who can't manage their money working for them. What if any rights do I have?
