I am starting to apply to LE agencies once again. About two years ago, I tested for a department for the first time. I failed the BI and I am sure it was due to my credit rating. I really destroyed my credit about 5 years ago while going through a bad time. At the same time, I with drew from school with terrible grades. I just was not focused.
Now, I have paid some of my debt off and am continuing to pay off the remaining debt. I am going back to school in the fall with a new focus and new energy. Will my past disqualify me from all departments? Or will they look at the fact that I am paying things off and have turned things around? Also, will going back to school and receiving good grades help matters?
I thank you for your responses! This is something that I truly want to do and I am affraid that what I did in the past will not allow me to achieve these goals. For the record, I have zero history with LE other than 3 or 4 minor traffic violations (speeding and expired plates) over the last 15 years.
