I just left a job ( the sole reason: wanting to move up north) after 4 months, which I did enjoy while working there.
They did an exasperatingly-lengthy background check on me, including credit.
This huge company owns multiple succesful dotcoms, including sites that advertise apartments, cars.. and this company owns newspapers.
The point I'm making:
I had a bankruptcy in 2002. (before then, I judged people who did this, and then after, I relaxed that judgement) But they hired me anyway. Why? Because, I prepared for the interview, but even more, I was simply qualified for the job.
I always refuse an the interview ( their personal recruiter contacted me ) unless I am sure I am qualified! If they're looking at you with your experience/knowledge and your less-than-bright credit,
and someone else with a perfect credit record who buttered up their resume, (and it was thus obvious during the interview), you're going to be hired.
If you leave a good enough impression through the intervew, and they thus feel nervous that they could lose money by *not* hiring you, they're going to hire you. They will look at the positives, such as *not* having a criminal record, and other problems.
