Will a bankruptcy discharged in FEB 09 hurt my chances to work at a bank as a teller? I applied for a teller positon at BBVA compass and the interview went good. The merely thing is that I have a bankruptcy on my credit report may this hurt my chances to work at a bank again. Infernal Disaster 11:03 am on November 22, 2009 While an employer can refuse to hire someone who has a lot of outstanding bad debt, they are not suppose to hold bankruptcies (discharging of debt) against you. Under federal law < 11 U.S.C. Section 525(b) > a private sector employer may not discriminate (refuse to hire, refuse to promote or fire) against someone who has declared bankruptcy. It is illegal. The problems is, it would be very hard to prove you were not hired for that reason. Bankruptcies will show up for 10 years by the way.
