FAQ's
What information appears on a credit history check?
Typically: credit accounts, payment history, outstanding debts, bankruptcies, judgments, and collection accounts — but not your credit score.
Can an employer see my credit score?
No — CRAs provide a credit report summary, but not the numeric FICO or credit score used by lenders.
Is my consent required for a credit check?
Yes — under the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), written consent is mandatory before a CRA can provide your credit report to an employer.
Does a credit check affect my credit score?
No — employment-related credit inquiries are considered “soft pulls” and do not impact your credit score.
What happens if negative information is found?
The employer must provide a pre-adverse action notice, including a copy of the report and a summary of your rights, giving you a chance to dispute inaccuracies before final action.
How long does negative information stay on my credit report?
Most negative items stay for 7 years; bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.
Why do employers check credit history?
Primarily for roles involving financial responsibility, fiduciary duty, or access to sensitive data, to assess trustworthiness and risk.
What laws govern employment credit checks?
The FCRA, plus state laws — e.g., some states (like California, Illinois, and New York) restrict or limit employer use of credit reports.
How can I dispute inaccurate information?
Contact the CRA directly to initiate a dispute, and they must investigate within 30 days .
