Сredit repair workеd fine to fix my credit. They disputed and removed lots of bad items from my credit report. I used this service - buildcredit.ifastnet.com

You can't. You borrowed money and didn't pay it back; that is the same thing as stealing. Nobody will hire a deadbeat.

Ignore Vic J, if everyone who had bad credit couldn't get a job, unemployment would be skyrocketed. Anyway just be upfront and honest. The worst thing you can do is lie. A lot of employers understand people make mistakes, and not to mention there are plenty of people out there who desperate to hire someone they won't even bother with credit checks.

You do not "impress employers so that if they check my credit, they will know it was a mistake ". You get a job somewhere that does not check credit report.

Some places don't check credit scores to hire, others are too desperate to care, but I would suggest working someplace just to get by, even if its someplace like fast food, so that you can pay off your bills. And when your credit score goes back up, you can feel more comfortable applying someplace that will check your score and care. & I agree - if they actually ask you about it, just be upfront. And always look presentable and clean in an interview. If you look "expensive " they'll say no wonder you're in debt, and if you look cheap or dirty they won't hire you anyways.
