patriotCheck

PatriotCheck is a consumer reporting agency that provides background check services to employers in the United States. The company offers a range of check options, including employment background checks, tenant screening, and volunteer screening.

PatriotCheck reports are generated by searching various public and private databases, including court records, sex offender registries, and consumer reporting agencies. The reports can be customized to meet the specific needs of the employer, and can include information such as an individual's employment history, education background, and credit history.

Employers may use PatriotCheck services for a number of reasons, including to screen job applicants, to verify the employment history of existing employees, or to conduct regular background checks on work personnel. Some employers also use PatriotCheck services as part of their ongoing risk management and due diligence efforts.

It's worth noting that PatriotCheck's reports may include information that is both accurate and up-to-date, as well as information that may be incomplete or incorrect. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires employers who use consumer reporting agencies like PatriotCheck to follow certain disclosure and notice procedures before conducting a background check.

PatriotCheck is regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and must comply with its provisions and guidelines. Employers who use PatriotCheck services must also comply with FCRA requirements when using consumer reports for employment decisions.

In recent years, PatriotCheck has faced legal actions from individuals and data protection advocacy groups regarding its methods and accuracy of reports. While the accuracy of reports is sometimes disputed, no definitive conclusion has been drawn from these actions.
