How to Arrange Credit Checks on Individuals

Chris J Anderson asked:




The credit check is very important step for back ground check in HR. The credit worthiness of some candidate can have significant importance in the decision of hiring especially if there is some unexplained area. The access of credit check is however not that easy, there are easy to understand legal requirement regarding the privacy of person to protect the personal credit history. The request to bank for credit check can include the following documents.

1- Request for obtaining Credit Report
2- The key information (simple or comprehensive report)
3- Permission for obtaining the credit report (endorsed by the future employee)

The legal requirements for the check in case of employee assessment is that the person should endorse in writing the request for the credit report. The reason for issuance of this information might be to obtain the honesty and credibility of the future employee. The bank however should provide the partial credit information not the complete credit history of employee.

If some decision like promotion is done based solely on the report, the legal requirement is there to disclose that information to the employee. This will automatically give him the right to challenge if he is not satisfied.

There are some cases where the other person can easily have the access to the personal information especially the credit reports; these include the case where the person might have given the power of attorney to bank for obtaining it. The minor, children and legal hires can obtain the credit reports, the procedure will be to send a request with due documents attached stating the reason of obtaining this information.

The exceptional cases for obtaining of the credit report can also include the credit report relating to some transaction to assess the credit worthiness, for example the credit checks done for the re mortgage or credit debt settlement cases.

Another similar situation where the credit can be requested is in case of insurance, or assessment for credit worth for underwriting purpose. This request is normally provided to the bank with due reason, so in return the bank shares the particular information with the insurance company or the other financial institution involved.

The eligibility of someone for obtaining some official benefit can also be attached to it. The government benefits and licenses are some times attached to certain income groups, as the result the agencies responsible for dispersal of these benefits can ask for the credit report too.

What Is a Credit Report and How to Get One

Brandon H Johnston asked:




A credit report will inform you of all the vital information that you need to check your personal credit rating. You can obtain get a “free copy of my report” with very little effort online.

By filling out a form offered by the FTC, you can obtain your free annual report by post. If you have the internet to hand, you may also apply for this free of charge service via the annual credit report website.

If you do not use Annual Credit report when applying for your report, you will have to pay for these services. The three most recognized credit rating bodies are TransUnion, Equifax and Experian.

Obtaining your score is slightly different from your credit report. This will cost you a fee. If you would like to request your free report which has been free for many years now, you simply go to the website and click on “free copy of my credit report.

A report actually gives information to potential lenders. This information includes things such as loans that have been paid, payments that are still due, how much you have borrowed and how many times you have been refused. You can look into this further by visiting http://www.creditscorereportguide.org.

Viewing your free report once a year for free prevents any errors or problems that you may have in the future. If you have been refused credit elsewhere, this has no effect whatsoever on your right to view your credit report.

If you would like to stop the embarrassment of being refused credit in the future, you can go to Annual Credit Report and view your personal history before it’s too late.

Don’t get sucked into the commercial business of having to buy your report and pay a monthly fee to access your score, when you can get it for free.
