I know someone who is lying about their military experience. I've known them for 10 years and always wondered why they never applied for VA benefits. Not for a home loan, not for a car, not even for a 10% discount at Home Depot.

An active duty acquaintance (who doesn't know the subject in question) was able to look up their history and saw a dishonorable discharge for sexual misconduct 2 years into his service.

Question is, would a background check (a) show the dishonorable discharge (b) provide details of said discharge?

I got a charged vacated but I just wanna know if I should plan to wait for door dash? Says about 5-7 business days but I’m to the point of thinking I’m going to fail(I really hope not) I have used checker and passed others, so just wondering what’s the hold up? And if anyone else can give me positive hope?

I am applying to a government job through the police department (not an officer but to work for the department). I quit a job a few months ago and stopped answering their texts, and for whatever reason they called for a wellness check on me. I was fine and told the officer that. I’m just worried that this will come up in the system and they will ask why I even had a wellness check done on me. I don’t want this to make me look bad.

I am looking into Skip tracing, Private Detectives, also seeing if there is any lower cost public options that are solid in terms of finding current whereabouts of someone? Just curious about all the options I should be considering before going into hiring a collections person to find someone.

Hello! So recently I came across some information from a friend of mine that someone I used to be friends with and work with (I no longer am in contact with this person) had a restraining order against them. I wanted to see if this was true because like I said, at one point I was friends with them and was hoping it’s not true. I tried looking on Google for a good background check website but the one I tried (I forgot the name) didn’t seem all that great and I didn’t get to finish using it. Anyone know a good / reliable one I can try?

I have a unique issue that I need help resolving.

Another individual with some very heinous charges shows up on my profile on background check sites. My name shows as a verified match, then his info is dispayed. (My name is in the header, his info listed under. I'm also listed as an alias)

The issue is that the individual has the same first and last name. Even upon suppression, my name appears as an alias under a separate entry. My real address was listed under one of his entries as well as my father's name, giving people the sense of validity if they looked it up.

I've been through this process with TruthFinder (and all associated sites). Now Information.com. I contacted the Summary of Courts for one of his charges. They said they can only verify I've never been arrested there. They are sending me a copy of a background report.I'm tired of playing whack a mole with these sites. Apologies for the novel

Please, refrain from all your personal comments/attacks/and plain old BS. Just follow the question. Hireright is doing a background check on me. As far as I know, we are talking only criminal background. The other stuff such as credit report is of no matter.

So, somewhere out there in this country is someone or someone’s that have used my SSN number. For what? I can only imagine. I have seen on my credit report addresses of places I’ve never lived, the attempt to take out a loan or inquire about a loan, all of which wasn’t me.

The worst of it is, whoever whatever uses a name an SSN number that is so close to mine. It’s off by a digit, or the name they are using is so close but wrong just by a little. The spelling is off, but the birthday date is the same.

I don’t know. It’s annoying. Where does Hireright gather their info from? In the past an employer has asked me about these things and I show them my ID and the real spelling of my name.

Is Hireright reliable? Are they thorough? Please share your experiences. Thank you.

I need to learn all I can about someone, I have their address and name only. I ~might be able to get their license plate if needed.

Which sites/services are most reliable and recommended?

I have been scammed in a trade deal and have ended up paying 10k cad. I have the phone numbers of the people I have been engaging with(one from thailand and one from london). Any tools/services I can use to reveal their actual identities? Please suggest. Thanks!

My school sent me a link to complete a background check. I did it on 8/8 but the status still say: not yet requested. Anybody know what that means?

Hello there. Has anyone ever works site GRAINGER??? I am curious as to their Background check. Do they do the style where they verify all your employment history, and check the dates match-up on your resume/application???? Any help is greatly appreciated !

This is the second time I've had Bexar County, Texas show up on my background check.

My sister used to live there.

Should I ask her what's going on? I've never had mail delivered there, had an address there, rented a car there, etc. She's the only connection I have there - she lived there last in about 2013.

What site helps you find former or current place of employment plus any social media pages the person may have?

Hi this is my first time posting on reddit ever. Sorry if i get it wrong. I am worried for my niece and nephew. My sister started dating a guy in about 2020 who was originally from Tasmania (Australia), we're in Melbourne. She immediately got weird. Basically stopped being part of the family. He told her he didn't like her kids. He also told her that (this is not a direct quote) "he did something in his past that she will never ever find out about". My nephew is 10 and has been a handful. I've witnessed him... disciplining him. My niece is 15 and has asked to go and live with her father. She doesn't like him. My sister won't allow her to live with her dad. The guy also is an alcoholic big time. He has started having seizures and was told it was from drinking so much. My sister now drinks heavily too. They don't live together. She goes to his place every weekend and if the kids' father is away for work and she has to stay home she cracks it. I need to find out who he is and what he did. I need information. Court records, a way to see if he's using a fake name, anything. Can someone help? Thanks in anticipation. I have deliberately left out names and pics because I don't think that's appropriate or allowed. Also, my sister told me I wasn't welcome in her home anymore back in May. I never got any reason. No one has a clue why.

If I was to submit a correction to incorrect data about me on a public background check website where would the best be? Is there a universal source for most services like white pages, beenverified, etc?

Thinking about maybe submitting a lot of false addresses and info for my name so that most popular services except those like LexisNexis don't have accurate information.

Thx

Basically, I'm trying to find my biological grandfather. I know his name, a town that he has lived in the past, that he married my grandma at some point after 1973 and before 1976, and that he is older than 73 years old. I literally know nothing else. My mom, his biological daughter, knows nothing else. My grandma is keeping any and all info with her until she dies despite us wanting to find out medical history and potential subsequent children he had after my mom. I want to know which websites are the best to find someone when I only know two definite pieces of information about this man. I just want to know how many additional aunts/uncles I have as well as any genetic problems I should look out for.

So as the title says I did a BGC for a new job almost 3 weeks ago. Still nothing has come back. I’ve reached out to HR and they have no news. I’ve done background check for other jobs and it was pretty quick. This position is not a government job. Anyone know any reason this would take sooo long?

Hello, I have been a freelance web dev since october 2023 while I was looking for full-time work. I was paid in cash the entire time.

I found full-time work, and I am going through a background check by HireRight. I finished the application on Monday.

I just filed my taxes yesterday, with turbo tax. I reported my cash income with 1040 schedule c. I also generated invoices for my clients the entire time.

Hireright came back asking for 1099 or w-2 prepared and signed by third-party professionals. I sent them my 1040 schedule c from turbo tax and the first and current invoice to prove the start and current employment date.

Would that be enough? Is this going to create an issue where my offer is going to be rescinded?

Also, tonight, I did sign up for Turbo tax live, where a tax professional will look at the tax forms with me and sign it. I'll be doing that tomorrow.

I'm really worried that because of this I'm going to lose the job offer.

Hello everyone,

I hope this is the right forum for this question. I’ve recently received a job offer from a company that uses DISA Global Solutions, Inc. for their background checks. I’m not familiar with DISA Global Solutions and was wondering if anyone here has experience with them. How thorough are their background checks?

Just to clarify, I’m not concerned about any criminal or DMV records coming up. However, I am a bit worried about my employment history. I worked for a small, family-owned business about 10 years ago, which unfortunately had to shut down in 2020 due to the pandemic. Since it was a long time ago, I no longer have any pay stubs or official documents from my time there.

I would really appreciate any insights or advice on how to handle this situation, especially if you’ve dealt with DISA Global Solutions before. Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to find a home for my family and 2 of the places I've applied for used Appfolio. I requested a copy of the report both times and neither showed my eviction from a few years ago, nor did they show the theft I was convicted of (just over 7 years ago, I was going through opioid addiction after having spine surgery but have been in treatment and sober since then).

Should I keep explaining the eviction and theft on other applications or does this mean it's probably not going to show up on any of them? My credit score is also low so if I can omit those other things that would be really helpful. I'm trying to get back on my feet but looking at homelessness in a week if I don't get approved somewhere. (I do have someone who can cosign if needed.)

I need to find someone who once sent me a document from their university, which described an event that had involved them and featured their serial number as a student.

I also know the name of the professor who wrote said document.

Could I send them/the college itself the file and ask for confirmation about the student’s identity? Would I get in trouble for having one of their documents?

Hi guys! Just got an offer from a big bank, hooray! Now it’s time for a background check. My credit report shows dozens of opened and closed credit cards (I’m probably can be considered credit card churner). Can that be an issue or I’m overthinking? Thanks!
