How Far Back Do Background Checks Go?

Background Checks - How Far Back Do They Go?

As an employer or landlord you may want to run criminal record checks and credit reports on prospective employees and tenants, and when you place an order for these reports, the question becomes how much information will be in the report? Obtainable information varies depending on whether or not reports are run through a consumer reporting agency such as AAA Credit Screening Services, the position you are hiring for, and the laws of the state our county the reports are being run in.

Background check reports obtained from AAA Credit Screening Services are all in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) which limits reports to the last 7 years of criminal convictions and credit history. The most 7 years in history should provide an employer or landlord with the most current view of the applicants character and credit worthiness.
