I've been a little worried about the clearance, too. I didn't want to ask the question on a new thread, but after a few minutes of searching thankfully I found this.

I have NO credit whatsoever. When I try to get credit reports, they tell me my score is unavailable because it is too low to score (or something along those lines). I've tried to get several "starter" credit cards, and they keep denying me. I can't take out a loan without having to pay way too much interest. The first thing the recruiter asked when I told him I wanted 18X was "How's your credit?"

Can having no credit at all hurt my chances in getting a clearance? I've been in the National Guard for 5 years now, but I've never held a clearance. I'm approaching the midnight hour now and don't know if I have enough time to build up a sufficient credit score.

Thanks for your time.


P.S...I also have one traffic ticket from earlier last year
