New Mexico Consent to Credit History Background and Reference Check

Q: Can my credit score prevent me from getting a job?

Again, a credit check likely won&#039;t affect your chances of getting a job unless you&#039;re pursuing a financial or management position or may be privy to sensitive information. If you plan to work with a company&#039;s finances, the hiring managers want to make sure you handle money responsibly.

Q: Do background checks show credit history?

The short answer is no, your credit score doesn&#039;t usually show up on a standard background check though sometimes landlords may submit a request for a credit score separately. (You&#039;ll have to give your written permission for them to do so.)

Q: How far back can a background check go in New Mexico?

New Mexico State laws on Employment Background Checks 56-3-6, credit bureaus may only report criminal convictions for seven years from the date of conviction or release from parole. Arrests and pending cases can only be reported while they are pending. If they do not result in a conviction, they cannot be reported.
