Well, I had the 'late payment' payment problem late last year, but I've gotten back on track since then, so I'm hoping they see that fact and not just the 'late payments!' part. My credit over all is pretty fried right now, but I'm in the process of digging out.

The credit check thing is still a little freaky for me; it used to be reserved only for jobs where you were actually handling money or making big money orders for your company. The fact that it's gotten over all so bad in the job market that it's necessary for a majority of workers speaks volumns about a lot of things...
