Bad blood with HR in past permie job

Your only option is to declare the employment, provide the correct reference and wait. If your definition of bad blood is simply you fell out with your employer, you're probably ok. Your client won't care in all likelihood. If bad blood = some form of misconduct on your part then it may cause an issue.
But trying to bury this employment won't help your cause at all.

Declare it, remember HR is there to protect the employer.
Saying anything other than "they worked here from x date to y date in the capacity of z" would fall outside of protecting the employer - why open themselves up for a civil suit unless they have to. Just keep it polite and to the minimum facts required.Comment
