spork V cahoot

[spork]

Quick Question for anybody before I go ahead and start making a claim against cahoot.
What is the chance of my employer finding out I am making a claim against a bank? Such as credit reports etc. The reason I am asking is that I very often get offered IT jobs with financial institutions etc. I have been offered a position with a high street bank and as far as I know they will do credit checks etc on employees.

My concern is that If I make a claim while working for one or have made one in the past will I be able to remain anonymous?

I would like to throw cahoot to the coals as they have ***** approx £1800 of mine in the last 5 years. However will this jepordise my chances of getting a job or do I have to right this off. It is my money after all.

Any answers would be appreciated.

I had a look at my credit report recently and from the information banks give, I can't see how anything relating to your claim would show up on the report -unless they close your bank account. This may show up (I'm not sure) but from what i've read, this is not a tactic Cahoot are employing.

Hope this helps, Lou

I've had several banks a/cs and credit cards which have been cancelled by me. They still appear on my credit report but are simply marked inactive. I would think an institution cancelling an a/c would look the same unless there was some financial problem.

I can't think it's legal to bad-mouth your credit report just because you've claimed back what is legally yours. If they tried that, you'd have the weight of this site behind you.

I would go for it, fellow it-person.

Yep - go for it - you are simply making a complain about the banks actions - not you own.

Sorry been away for while. Thanks everyone for your replies. I will start the ball rolling then, as I already have the statements somewhere, which cost me 10 quid! As for Credit reports I had a recent-ish credit report which hadn't shown anything negative up for cahoot as yet, but had a nasty mark from Northern Rock credit card because there was a delay from an advance from Northern Rock Mortgages, but thats for another day. Thanks.
