Facts About Checkpast Credit Reporting

Checkpast is a background check agency that opened in 1992, according to the company's official website. A number of publications, including "U.S. News and World Report" and "Dallas Business Journal," have had articles about the potential benefits and drawbacks of Checkpast's services.

Report Basics

    Checkpast reports contain information about a person's credit and criminal history, and those reports are issued predominantly to employers looking to hire an applicant or promote an existing employee.

Expert Insight

    In a 2009 "U.S. News and World Report" article written by Liz Wolgemuth, Checkpast vice-president Matthew Levine said companies using Checkpast look for specific "red flags" when asking for background reports. For example, the employers that use Checkpast are usually more concerned with problems such as not paying credit cards rather than being unable to cover the costs of medical bills.

Affiliated Companies

    Checkpast also owns two other companies that work in the same type of industry, according to the company's website. Secure Check provides extensive background check services as well as drug screenings. Omnia also provides background reports and can also administer personality profile tests.
