Seems to be the new in thing for employers. If you have a bad credit rating 'obviously' you're not a very responsible person, therefor probably a poor choice for a job. Really lame, but painfully accurate in some cases.
If you get a job that requires a security clearance (secret, top secret etc) you have to go through and list everywhere you've lived for 5+ years, one person you knew at each residence, like 3 relatives, a few friends, Financial information ... and a partridge in a pear tree...
