Why Delinquent Accounts Are a Red Flag for Security Clearance
A single missed payment can escalate into a clearance risk.
Top reasons delinquent accounts are flagged:
– Late Payments (30, 60, 90+ days past due) – Shows poor financial responsibility.
– Accounts in Collection – Indicates unresolved financial obligations.
– Charge-Offs – Written-off debt negatively impacts your financial stability.
– Bankruptcies – Requires demonstrated financial recovery before clearance approval.
– Judgments & Liens – Legal issues related to debt are serious red flags.
