Ask HN: Have you ever had a job offer rescinded?

I already accepted a job offer, and I'm at the stage of background check.

In the criminal background check I have a speeding ticket (driving at 41 MPH in a 30 MPH zone) which remains unpaid, and there may be a bench warrant. I let my soon-to-be employer know about this situation, and they didn't mentioned a word about it.

Also, I have bad credit (in the 400 FICO) because I don't have enough money (that's why my speeding ticket remains unpaid), and the money I earn from my current employer is not enough (I make $12/hr as a Software Developer...), some times I make just enough money to pay rent and utilities.

I'm afraid that my soon-to-be employer might want to rescind the job offer, which will take me back to the start.
