FAQ

A credit check reveals certain information about an employee, especially in relation to his or her finances. Usually, an employer will have access to information like the employee or candidate's credit card and debit card debts, payment and default history, details of any delayed payments, loans and so on.

The short answer is no, your credit score doesn't usually show up on a standard background check though sometimes landlords may submit a request for a credit score separately. (You'll have to give your written permission for them to do so.) But your credit history could still affect your application.

In general, background checks typically cover seven years of criminal and court records, but can go back further depending on compliance laws and what is being searched.

Felony Background Checks in Maryland A background check could report convictions and non-convictions for the previous seven years. This means that an individual who might not have been convicted of a felony could still have the incident appear on their background check.

Credit scores typically do not show up on a background check. Most background checks for employment do not seek credit information, but rather, criminal history. They are typically looking for whether you are dangerous to employ. Some pre-employment screenings do go deeper and look at credit.

For security purposes, the credit report can be used to verify someone's identity, background and education, to prevent theft or embezzlement and to see the candidate's previous employers (especially if there is missing employment experience on a resume).

Thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers can't go checking your credit history behind your back. They must have written consent before pulling an applicant's credit history.

If your actual concern is, How long will a conviction show up on a background check? well, that's a different answer! Under the Fair Credit and Reporting Act, companies that perform background checks can only report convictions from the previous 7 years.

Under the law, arrest records can contain only listings of felony convictions that have occurred within the last 10 years. Information about such convictions cannot be used as a bar to employment unless they are substantially related to the job in question.

A background check for employment in Virginia must comply with FCRA limitations on the length of time that adverse information can be used for employment purposes. The FCRA establishes a seven-year limitation for certain types of information, including some arrest records.
