I can go to the states, as my record isn't for violence, its for fraud. Apparently its only violent crime they are worried about, or serious offenses.

I din't know a criminal record affected mortgage either, guess I have absolutely no chance ever then

It'll affect you specifically because it's a financial crime Vicky . It's like the opposite of travel... They wouldn't care if it WAS violent crime, but fraud will make lenders run a mile probably.

Credit history doesn't have to be a problem, if you can clear debts and keep a clean credit record for 6 years you're fine. All defaults / even CCJ's etc. fall off of your credit report after 6 years.
