Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend get out of some credit card debt.
Hoping to move them to a bank which let's you do a balance transfer for x months.
Problem is, this person has just been terminated from their job (they were in it for 4 months). It was only last week.
I know it's a little dodgy- but could they 'provide' paychecks & not mention they've been terminated? will all credit cards want to know if you've got a job?
This is called application fraud.
Good point. Do all credit card companies require you to have a job & do this cheque? Liklihood of compassion or anyhing having just been fired?
Compassion ? we're talking about BANKS here !!! They are there to make money, not showing compassion.
Having a job means you'll have a regular source of income to pay for whatever amount you owe on the card. They will be silly not to check if you actually have a job.
They generally call your employer to verify the information you've provided.
I think usually they ask for a work number in the application so they can call the company if you don't pick up your other given phone number but also I think to check if they work there
