Credit Card debt

The debt requirements are pretty much the same accross the board, not more then half of your salary (does not include school loans, mortgage, etc..). As long as you are current and not behind on payments then it should not affect your security clearence in a negative way, they are looking for financial responsibility.

My son was contacted and interviewed this week for a security review as some items on his credit report were not on the security form, They foud some old additional collections in his credit report, they asked him about them, there are no judgements or public records but 6 year old credit card stuff, His job does not need clearnce at AM will this now affect his ship date?
he has been current on all his other stuff including school loans cars etc. but they do show some old unpaid credit cards, that we thought were cleared up but now are not, and they have accrued interest.
