I am currently in the military and will be applying for a position for which I will be required to obtain a top secret clearance. About 3 years ago I had some financial issues, during which I was a few months late on a car payment and a credit card payment. I also was late on some education loan payments about 6 months later. Since then I have settled the credit card debt, paid off the car loan in full, and am current on my school loan. I am also current, and ahead, on a new car loan. I am not currenlty in default of any loan or debt, and have stable finances. I obviously plan on being as honest and straight forward about my financial history as possible on the SF-86 form, but would like to know ahead of time, will the past credit issues prevent me from obtaining a top secret clearance?
What kind of financial issues are disqualifying for military top secret clearances?
