I am inteested to know how your filing turned out with your CPA credential.
n
I filed in 2010 also, CH 13, will be off my credit report in 5 more years, thankfully.
n
I spent all of 2010 passing the CPA. Not one employer will touch me. I understand their apprehension in hiring an accountant who possibly did not manage their own finances correctly.
n
My situation was due to the economy just like many other people. But I know for sure now that I am being declined job offers in the accounting industrry due to my CH 13, discrimination allowed or not. I see their inquiries on my credit report and then I get the decline letter, even after round 3 of interviews when I authorize them to run my background.
n
It completely sucks, but thankfully PA has a 10 year limit on getting your hours in to obtain the license, so I haven't thrown in the towel yet, and I will sitll have 6 years to get the experience done after it is off my record, so I BETTER be employed by then or I suck.
n
Unitl then, I have to just try some less professional industry work to get myself financially stable again and put my background and education and credentials aside for now.
n
I am also thinking of hitting the smaller local tax offices for employment where they might not run my credit or see it as such a negative thing. I'm a nice and smart guy, I know that, but an employer sure does not know that by seeing a ch 13 on my record. I completely understand their apprehension.
n
Tell me how you have made out.n
