As of October 1, 1997, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that all employers who request background information for pre-employment purposes have a written consent before they begin. If they make any adverse decisions because of results from that report, the applicant has the right to see the information and contest it if it is wrong. Our web site offers you with the sample forms and releases that will assist you in the process. A FCRA Summary and FCRA can be located in our Resources button. More information on the FCRA laws can be found at the www.ftc.gov web site.
Unless you request otherwise, a criminal history search is a ten (10) year search of court records that uncovers misdemeanors and felony convictions. These are reported to you in a written report that includes (in most cases) the charge, date of offense, type of classification and other pertinent information.
We always attempt to obtain at least felony and related misdemeanors. If we are able, there are some drug convictions that fall under violations that will be reported. Please keep in mind that each state varies with what information can be found and what will be provided for these searches.
We customize our services to meet your needs. We have an on-line form to submit your requests or a toll-free number that you can fax your requests to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
