How much credit card debt is enough to disqualify me from getting hired into a federal position?

I have been offered a GS13 level position within a federal agency, and I am about to proceed with the first background check (prior to both my start date, and full blown security investigation). I have about 70K in student loans, a few K left to pay on my car, and about 15K in revolving debt. Despite these debts, my consumer credit rating is over 750 and I have never been late paying any of my bills. I am however concerned that the 15k in revolving (i.e. credit card debt)accounts will draw a red flag. What is the threshold for revolving debt in the federal hiring process? Do they pay more attention to the underlying habits (i.e. on-time payments) as do the consumer reporting agencies, or will they disqualify me for having a relatively high credit card load?

  2. Hard to say, depends upon the position.  They do not like a person in debt, subject to bribes....wait and see, nothing you can do until you pass it.  Security checks vary, depending upon "how deep"...there are levels.  Good luck to you!  (former US FED/SES/DC)
