Don't worry about them mate , the reason they check your credit history is to check your name , adress , banks etc to confirm it is you as you claim . Its non of their business that you defaulted some of your credits , no one has the right to judge you . You are British therefore its your right to have a passport .

samar0001, just checking, are you really just about to apply for a British Passport? Or are you really just about to apply for Naturalisation?

Two very different applications!

samar0001, then clearly nothing to worry about. You are British and entitled to apply for a passport.
