Rejected at background check Got rejected by both Citadel and Jane Street at the background check. Reason was 3 unpaid medical debts from 2012, 2012, and 2018; a foreclosure in 2023; and student loan default in 2025. Any way to appeal this? I am currently laid off but willing to pay off the debt using my sign-on bonus if that’s needed.
