Hey Everyone,
In the next few days I’m finally going to do my interview with the investigator.
With that being said…I’m extremely worried about the process, and I can’t stop thinking about the things I’m embarrassed to have to explain.
First off let me say I’m a lot harder on myself than anyone else is.
POSITIVES:
-
No Drugs EVER!!
-
Only been arrested once in my life and that was beyond 7 years ago….So NO issues with the law.
RED FLAGS:
-
Previous issues with alcohol and self admitted outpatient treatment. 2 years sober since.
-
Mental Health issues to include a hospitalization for 3 days back in 2018.
My mom died about a year prior and rather than dealing with it….I threw myself into my career and tried to suppress those feelings rather than addressing them.
Did therapy for a couple years and have had zero issues since.
- My credit is not good! Last time I checked it was about 600. Back in 2021 I lost my job, during that time I was trying to maintain the lifestyle I’d had while employed, rather than scaling back. I then ended up taking a job and relocating for said job. On top of that I was making far less than I had been before I was unemployed and ended up moving to one of the most expensive places one can live. I was literally going bankrupt while working for the job that brought me here. Made a change in March and improved my situation enough to get by and start making headway into my debts. Since March my credit score has increased 165 points….however I have a ways to go and still have negative marks showing.
This breaks my heart to have terrible credit. Struggle is a relatively new phenomenon for me. I’ve been extremely blessed for most of my life and have never had any issues with maintaining a score of 720 or more….This is extremely embarrassing!!
I admit that I definitely made mistakes and i completely understand that I am the one that put myself in the position that I’m in.
This has been a goal of mine since I can remember, and I’ll be devastated if I’m declined.
My friends and family assure me that I’m an excellent candidate and I’ll be fine….but I can’t help but go to the worst case scenario.
