The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal statute which requires that certain disclosures be made to, and authorizations be obtained from, a consumer whose background is being checked for the purpose of evaluating him/her for employment, promotion, reassignment, or retention as an employee.

RefCheckSM Information Services, Inc. is considered a “Consumer Reporting Agency” (CRA) as defined by the FCRA. The FCRA imposes obligations on consumer reporting agencies such as RefCheckSM. It also imposes obligations on companies/organizations who engage the services of a CRA. Those obligations, imposed on both RefCheckSM and RefCheckSM clients, are spelled out in detail in the Service Agreement that clients sign when ordering any of RefCheck'sSMservices for the first time.

By ordering products or services through this web site, or by any other means, a client asserts its compliance with the FCRA, as well as its permissible purpose to obtain information.
