How much importance does a possible employer place on a good credit score? What if a person is definitely qualified for the position, has a great personality and is exactly what they are looking for, background check is clear, but they have bad credit?

What shows up on credit check for an apartment? Are they just looking for evictions and not paying for previous apartment rentals? My friend is worried about an unpaid bill for a gym membership and unpaid bill for a cell phone from years ago showing up on the credit report. He also thinks his late payments (about a week late) for a car a few years ago may affect his chances of renting a place. Will these thinks have any affect?

I’ve maxed out school assistance and stafford loans. My parents won’t cosign or take out a PLUS loan. I only have a couple weeks left to come up with the money before I have to cancel my enrollment.
