Will you definitely find information about the person I am checking? Yes, for ID verification. Because we will verify the SSN, we will always be able to provide verification of the name, Alias names, addresses, and possible phone numbers. The criminal, wants and warrants, bankruptcies, judgments, liens and workers comp all search for negative information. If no negative information is found, you will be advised of such. The education, employment, and professional verification search results may vary depending on if they can be contacted.

Why don’t you offer credit checks? The reporting and analyzing of credit needs to be done by an expert who can understand and explain the full picture of the financial background. This is not our area of expertise so we recommend that you do a credit check if needed, with a professional agency rather than try to analyze it on your own.
