I need to do a couple of background checks and was wondering if there were any free websites, programs etc. that would allow me to do a basic background check. I have heard of net detective and all the other programs...are they worth paying for? Thanks in advance...

as far as my knowledge goes, there is no such free website that would at random do a background check on people...if that was the case, then people can get all information about others. there would be no such thing callled 'PRIVACY'

go to www.freebackgroundcheck.com and you should find free checks on people.

Yes, this will show up on a background check.  Any court activity (positive or negative) recorded could show up on a background check.  You can use several online tools to do a background check on yourself or a private security firm.  Depending on the job you are interviewing for it could affect it.  Security type jobs frequently will deny hiring people with pending arrest warrants.  Also, for higher paying jobs, showing that you have a judgement for back support and an arrest warrant shows a lack of responsibility on your part (not passing judgement here).  I am just giving an HR perspective to the information you have provided.\n\nGet the situation cleared up and record cleared.  If not, you might mention the situation in the interviewing process.  If not, it might seem you are trying to hide something.\n\nGood luck.

while im not sure of any 'free' sites, most counties still allow you to check criminal records through the clerk of court in each county courthouse, but unless you know where they have lived or were they may have been arrested prior it makes for a difficult search. hope this helps

Go to your local police department and explain the situation to them. If there is a police report on file regarding the Identity Theft, then they will be able to proceed with the background check without incident. If there is no report on file, they may scrutinize your reason for this request a bit more. \n\nGood luck and no worries. This type of thing happends all the time = these days!

i don't really know of a web site that you can actually look at court records... you'd have to go to the court house for somethine like that... criminal records are public information and you are allowed access to them at no charge... on the other hand, i did find a web site where you can look up someone to see if they have criminal charges in DAVIDSON COUNTY (nashville TN)... some cases offer the option to veiw the affidavit... all you have to know is their name... knowing a birth date will help slim the results down a bit...

Don't count on those other two posts. Nothing on either site is FREE. I have tried relentlessly to search for info such as what your looking for. Nothing free, nada, no way. Wish I could tell you different.........I did find one you could sign up for 2 yrs at 39.95. But I am again in the same place as you are: I only wanted to look up one person, so that was not for me either. Then my niece went to work for an attorney and he let her look it up for me.

Yes...there are some.  On the following site I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid--\nand I tell whether they pay you by check, pay-pal, points for rewards, etc.--plus what I like and dislike about them. \n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys\n\nOne I don't list is www.surveydirect.com.  I have't been paid through them because I either don't qualify for the surveys, or they require flash, which I don't have on the browser I use.  But I've heard from other people that its good and they pay by pay-pal (not every survey is paid...but they tell you up-front which ones aren't, so you can just skip those that aren't).\n\n\nThere are others out there.  Be careful though, there are also scams.  Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys.   Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.  \n\nAlways carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy.   If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect.  Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).\n\nAlso just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:\nhttp://www.surveypolice.com/

PUBLIC RECORDS is the key to your answer.\n\nHow much do they charge for records you can get for free, anyway?\n\n\nYou will not be doing anything illegal, however you may be spening money unwisely.  What will you do when they take your money adn send you a report that says they found nothing?

There are companies online that provide this service for employers so I'm sure there are places for regular consumers. \n\nI did a search and came up with a place I've listed below. I have done background checks on men I've gone to meet in other states.

Also, many websites have background checks for around 10 dollars a search. It will give you a complete background history on anyone if you have their social security number.

That would show on a $50 background check.  Some businesses do them, some don't.  If they don't you might get away with it, but it would be out there.  \n\nIf they ever decided they didn't want you, they could back check things and have an immediate reason to fire you with cause.  I have seen that happen twice.

you should not have to pay for mystery shopping. I have done this. On the MSPA site you can search for companies by putting in your local area in the (areas serviced) section. I payed the money and I personallly feel it did nothing for me. You still need to take the time to go to each and every company and apply.\n\nhttp://www.mysteryshop.org/searchmspa/search.php

I don't think you can.  At least not a thorough one.  You can check registered sex offender lists in many states for free online.  Most states will allow you to order a driving record of someone for a few bucks.  You can always check past employment if you know.  College degrees are fairly easy to check, though like employment records, they may only be released if the person is trying to get a job with you/your company.  This will, of course, only help you so far.  Many online companies will do a moderately thorough background check for a reasonable fee, about $35 to $75.  You get what you pay for, now what you need to think about is two things:\n1.) Do I have a really good reason to suspect I need to do this?\n2.) What do I have to loose if I don't and I should have?

Thank you Celeste!\n\nIt amazes me how so many people come here and give out these sites like freecreditreport.com.  These morons simply don't have a clue, or else they get some sort of kickback form sending unsuspecting consumers to these sites.  \n\nhttp://www.annualcreditreport.com is the ONLY site where you can get a free credit report from the three major credit reporting agencies.  Any other site is trying to sell you credit monitoring services or some other nonsense.

It works for me. But any way I think you can log on to www.allexperts.com\nGo to Computing-Programing-Basic-vb.net and post the question there.\nMany a problems for me have been rectified.\nIts free of charge.\nHope this helps.\nCMR

In the UK, background checks include what you have mentioned - Criminal records, Employment records, Tax returns, also checks with DSS and Local police Day book (reports/complaints by members of the community).\nThey cannot check Bank transactions without a court order.\nThey cannot check your home life.\n\nYou are right in telling him not falsify his employment status, it's too easily checked, either via DSS, or if not, the question then asked is "How did you live without money?" - these can lead to even more questions.\n\nGaping gaps in employment need not work against him, depending on what he was doing during those times.\n\nRemember - people are naturally trusting so will only start 'deep' questions if given a reason to.
