Worried About Your Upcoming Background Check?
In applying for a loan, a job, or an apartment, you are pretty familiar with the interview and background check process. It is a long waiting game for you to be cleared and given the thumbs up. Have you ever wondered what banks, employers, and landlords look at during the background check? Do you have a point on your criminal record that you are worried about? Will they even see it, and will it affect their decision?
For background checks, offenses have a 7-year lifespan, any offense that happened over 7 years ago will not appear on the background check; unless it resulted in a conviction. Any records that have been sealed or expunged will not appear on the background check; banks, employers, and landlords will not have access and authority to see these hidden records.
Many times, an existing criminal background alone will not influence a decision. Many people with criminal backgrounds secure loans, jobs, and housing without issue. You should not fret too much, especially if you have displayed good behavior ever since your arrest, including while out on a bail bond from Fairfax Bail Bond Store.
