I was not convicted and just charged. I was given a check from an ex who then got jealous of my new marriage and told the police that I stole the check and cashed it. Originally it was a felony, however when her signature was matched they knew she lied. The messed up thing is the prosecutors wouldn't drop it. Instead they lowered it to a misdemeanor and called it possession of a faulty/bad check.

I was charged, not convicted, with a misdemeanor
it is listed as possession of a bad check. Another words. I received a check, cashed it and then got accused of stealing the check and filling it out myself. I need to know if this would affect me getting my 215 insurance license. Thank you.

Howdy peeps, I have a Misdemeanor from the year 2000 for giving a chum a discount on some merchandise for $200. I got nailed for petty theft. I worked at a store. Would this bad decision cause a denial in an insurance license bid?
I have been steadily employed for 15 years but want a career change.

Probably not, but it's the decision of the Director of the Dept of Insurance.

I have two misdemeanor charges. One is failure to return rental property and the other is worthless check. Neither one of those charges I committed, but since it was my name on it, I had to take the wrap for it. Will that affect me in getting my license in NC

"Charges" or "Convictions"? There is a difference. If you were never "convicted" there is nothing to worry about at all.
But if you were convicted, why would you "take the wrap" [sic] for something you did not do?
Neither offense is a felony, so that part's not much of an issue. As misdemeanors, however, they could be of concern to the insurance regulator in your state. Most likely, it won't be a problem.

I had a few small misdemeanors from over 10 years ago and was honest on my application. I got my P&c license. You just need to be honest and show the board how you have changed your life.

Has anyone been successful in getting there insurance licence with some type of dishonesty crime on your record. If so how long ago was it? how long ago did you apply for your licence? What did you say in your personal narrative? thank you

Hi -
Just got recently offered a new job at a major insurance company to do insurance sales. Just passed the background and drug screening with flying colors.
I didn't realize that the job required obtaining a state license. I have to get licensed within 45 days of employment. About 20 years ago (college) days, I pled no contest to a misdeamenor lewd conduct and was given 6 months probation. If memory serves me well, I got it expunged and sealed a year after. One of those mistakes I truly regret...
Now, I start in two weeks. Don't know what I should do. I don't want to lose my job if I don't get a li
