FAQ

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.)

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.

Or are credit history background checks a separate tool? There is a simple answer to these questions: a criminal background check will never include any information about a person's credit history.

Thus, the FCRA is not limited to credit reportingit extends to criminal and civil records, civil lawsuits, reference checks and other information obtained by a consumer reporting agency. The FCRA allows job applicants to sue employers who fail to comply with any requirement imposed by the law.

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.

The FCRA gives you the right to be told if information in your credit file is used against you to deny your application for credit, employment or insurance. The FCRA also gives you the right to request and access all the information a consumer reporting agency has about you (this is called "file disclosure").

FCRA rules generally apply any time an employer obtains a background check on a potential job candidate from a third-party source. Among other provisions, and according to the FTC, the FCRA safeguards job applicants by ensuring: They have the right to be informed of a background check.

The FCRA applies to any company that collects and sells data about you to third parties. Such companies, known as consumer reporting agencies, must follow the stipulations of the FCRA. The three most well-known consumer reporting agencies in the U.S. are Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.

In addition to the basics (name, address, previous addresses, and social security number), a credit check also includes information such as outstanding debtsmortgages, medical debt, or student loans, for example. The report also includes bankruptcies, credit limits, tax liens, and more.

FCRA compliance is required for any employer that partners with a background screening company to conduct pre-employment checks.
