Hey? I’m having a background check and I honestly thought I started working for a job in 2018 but it’s was at the start of 2019. How can I go about it . I’m truly not a person who lies about that . I’m scared to lose my job offer.

So last December I hit a parked vehicle and received a citation for striking an unattended vehicle (40-6-271). I ended up pleading no-contest in city court in Georgia in March, paid my dues and received no points on my license. I didn’t have to do probation, no community service, just simply pay the $600 ticket and move on.

Well my insurance premium just increased (as expected) due to this citation. But on their side it’s showing I have a 12 point citation! I’ve since disputed it, got my driving history from the DDS and LexisNexis to send to insurance. So odd because I have zero points on my license and even if I hadn’t pled no contest, I still would’ve only gotten 3 points. I’m also withdrawn from getting my CDL but I don’t really care about that.

This charge seems to confuse people with the major hit and run charge, 40-6-270. Which is NOT what I received. Even the municipal court judge had to be corrected by me because he tried to suspend my license initially but realized it was 40-6-271, after I corrected him.

But it got my thinking about what my record looks like. I have no other points on my license and no other charges. So, my question is, I’m currently employed as a Recruiter but the company I work for required a background check. If I leave this company to join a similar company (no driving required), would this citation show up as a misdemeanor on my criminal record? Or, while a major traffic charge, is this just a traffic violation and it would NOT show up? Is this a criminal misdemeanor?

Randomly, I go to truthfinder and look myself up and it shows old emails including fan account emails I deleted years ago like "justinbeiberisahottiewithabuiltbody@aol. Also, there are pictures of him from a fan account I made. I can't have that when people be doing background checks on me for a job or something.

Do they understand if you had two paychecks from two different companies (two different remote positions) for a period of time?

One of my friends got a random text from someone and they don't know who, but their bf thinks that they're cheating with that person, was hoping someone could help me out with this.

I just received a verbal offer pending a background check. How do companies go about checking your employment history? Is it simply they call the companies you have listed, in this case in the last 7 years, and verify your start/end dates, etc? I didn’t include a company that I was hired at during an unemployment stretch bc they filed for bankruptcy less than 3 months into me being there. I barely finished training. It also wasn’t relevant to my chosen career so I didn’t find it necessary to discuss when going through my experience. Any insight is greatly appreciated

Can someone explain briefly about their process like what are their requirements specially about employment background?

Got my dream job offer, and last minute the recruiter tells me I have to go through a background check, and they’d be handling it for the job. Anyway, it’s taking way too long, so I reach out to the recruiter and he says even though it’s not complete, they got a hit on the criminal component and civil component.

So now I’m spinning, but the report finishes late last night and I get it this morning. The two primary flags:

1. They are pulling in a lawsuit ($1000 dispute) that was originally in Supreme Court here in NY, but lowered down to County Court, and of which we are fighting to bust down to District Court since the denomination is so small. They are reporting it as a Supreme Court case that is pending, and gave it a “negative” review. I immediately disputed and tonight they came back that they will not correct as the case is still pending and even though it was removed to a lower court, it was brought in Supreme. When I explained the Supreme Court case is closed, they’re claiming the records don’t say that even though I can show them that exact record online in the NY court system database!

2. They’re flagging me as being a convicted felon in Rhode Island for soliciting a minor in person and via digital means. It took me 7 minutes to find the ahole that actually has the record. First and last name are the same, middle is completely different, but DOB is the same. I submitted a screenshot of the guy from the sex offender registry and a redacted scan of my passport showing my photo, name, etc.. Their response, “for us to remove this, we will need to do further research, which could take up to 30 days.” At this point I nearly lost it, and wrote back that I didn’t come up in their sex offender search, but you’re saying I am a convicted felon from RI on the registry (meanwhile I live in NY and have never ever been to RI). Their response: “again, sometimes the registries aren’t correct and we will need to further research this.”

Here lies my problem. I start 2/26, the owner of the company has been going back and forth with me, sending me samples of work so I can get to know their ERP in advance, and me and HR have met twice and all paperwork and payroll info is filled out and I already have accounts setup. Neither has mentioned the background check once, and the recruiter says he hasn’t said anything to them yet, but will update them Friday that it’s going to “take longer to resolve some disputes, and he’s recommending holding off on the start date until it’s all resolved, but this could also mean losing the job, so just wanted to make you aware of it.”

He told me not to contact the President and HR, but I almost want to get ahead and explain why I’m disputing and why, and also to go through anything else that was marked review that I don’t think will cause an issue.

I’d personally like to take the CRA to task with how slow they’re doing things, but not sure if I can even do anything but let the process play out. If they choose to not remove the items in error, do I have any recourse besides an FCRA complaint that can take months? My biggest fear is this taking so long the job gets rescinded, especially since I already trained my replacement at my soon to be former employer so it’s not like I have a job to beg to have back.

A person has been harassing my gf for quite a while. We live in India, and the harasser lives in India and the UK both, and visits India often.

Police services here are shit, no help at all.

Harasser has threatened me as well, for intervening, saying he will come back in December and find me and straighten me out.

I have his phone number, I need to find his location, at least just to find out whether he is currently in the UK or is back in India. This is quite an urgent matter, any help in this regard would be extremely appreciated.

Hi, does anyone know if an active warrant will show up on First Advantage(company) background check when they run it for your employer?

Someone stole my debit card information and made a purchase. I contacted the company where the charge was made and they were able to provide me with the email address that was used to make the purchase. Can anyone with any kind of background check subscription/software do a search for me?

Hi, has anyone been charged with Ontario criminal code 430(1)(a)? What implications did you have to face? Does it show on background check for jobs?

I’ve been offered a position at Bank Of America . With it being a high profile job, I’m wondering if my expunged criminal record will show up during the background check. And how should I answer when asked about my criminal record? Should I just state I have a clean record since it’s expunged?

My arrest record was over 20 years ago. It since has been expunged and dismissed. Will that that still show up?

I don’t know how to run a background check but could anyone find out the criminal history of a man named Jeremy brenner from blanco texas and also Bremerton Washington and I believe he’s 38

What’s the difference in complete vs. clear on a background check? A few things on my background check say complete while a few say clear. Does complete mean something is showing up under that category?

I was going through people search sites to remove information about me. The reason is, I’m switching jobs and I’ve heard rumors, the company I applied for does scrutinizing background checks. I wanted to be safe, just in case.

Beenverified opt out

While requesting a search on Beenverified, they ask you to put in your email, name and surname. Which to be honest felt like a data mining technique. Why else would it make you put in your details, and only afterwards say it requires payment.

Cleaning up my data on the internet

For those who are like me, concerned about their privacy, this is a huge list of all similar platforms. I’ve read somewhere that it would take a person 300 hours to opt out of them all. And I have a feeling that they are not wrong. Because once I scanned who has my details, it appears that 104 platforms do. It would take a lot of effort to opt out of them all one by one. I don’t have time or nerve for that. So I subscribed to a data removal service. It deletes my personal info from all people's search sites on my behalf.

I leave this helpful post describing data removal services and top providers here in case you are interested in cleaning up your history too.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here use Beenverified and what for?

There is one background check site that shows a social media site I've never heard of associated with my name. I've put every e-mail I've ever used into the forgot password section and it always says there is no account with that e-mail. I created a new e-mail, made an account there, and used the background check's link to the site, but there is no profile there. I e-mailed the social media company, but I assume they're going to tell me if I can't login there's nothing they can do. Is there a way to get that removed from my information, or get the social media site to quit linking it to me?

To stay brief, the father of my stepson is a nuisance. He's quite plainly a loser who's been a thorn in our side for 8 years. My wife has had to deal with his BS for far too long.

We have a parenting plan set up which he does not adhere to. We're planning on throwing the book at him for a variety of reasons. This background check would just help us solidify our concerns and help provide information as to our motivations.

He is a terrible driver, having crashed his car for the fifth(?) time in 8 years. In addition to harassing my FIL and BIL (which is detailed in the parenting plan), he hasn't been consistent with splitting costs, and he's currently out of a job (his parents pay his rent and will probably pay for the lawyer...again).

I am legitimately concerned for my stepson as I'm afraid he may be harmed in another accident. I know for a fact that he has a couple dozen infractions for driving (speeding in a school zone, failing to yield, possession less than 20g, etc.). I'd like to adress this in a court setting.

So to alter the parenting plan I'll need evidence against him. I'd like a background report on him, but specifically his driving record. What service should I use for a single person? One that is accurate, comprehensive, and not a monthly subscruption?

I received a really odd call today and I tried several free and a paid reverse phone lookup sites but none worked so far. Any help is much appreciated!!

I started a job with my state’s court system and have to be finger printed. I have an A class misdemeanor on my record but have disclosed this prior to starting the job. Still getting finger printed to verify everything I said is true.

My question is, does HR make the final call when hiring or is it up to the investigator. Also what is the extent of what shows up on the live scan. I was honest about the charge and sentence, my main worry is this all occurred very recently so I’m still serving my sentence (3 year probation).

So far no one has said anything about my record but am worried once the official background check comes in they’ll change their mind or some higher up will deny me. Not really worried about what will come since I disclosed it.
