Hello all- I’m soon to be backgrounded for a position with law enforcement in MN.
I have some student loan debt and recently, due to only my own negligence, had a couple federal Perkins loans default totaling $8k – I am currently in the “loan rehabilitation” program and the default is to be removed from my credit after 9 months of payments.
How much will this affect my chances? Can someone go into detail of the financial background check?

Could hurt.. but honesty is the best policy. You’ll never know until you try.
Mine asked nothing about financials. Just 1 section asking if you ever been asked or forced to appear in court or had any court cases pending, which would include unpaid bills much of the time. I did not know that and left out 3 medical bills from years ago (I eventually paid but they went to court first) and was asked about it.
Hi- I’m in Minneapolis- it would not be a problem!
