Ugh.. How far will people go. (Score 1)

Were you told about the credit check in the interview or when they made the offer to you? I would first sit down with the top people in the company and explain to them that you value your privacy and do not belive that a credit report will show them anything about the way you work. People get into all kinds of situations. People get sick, people have family die, people have accidents. I would think about speaking with a lawyer as well. I hate stupid lawsuits but a privacy lawsuit is not a stupid lawsuit. Just don't spill hot coffee on yourself and blame MCds.
