Anyone know where companies do background checks ???

I have been living and working in South Korea for the last 8 years and traveled several other countries 12 years before that.

I have always kept a US mailing address and a Indiana drivers license. My wife is from the Philippines and has been a citizen for 1 1/2 yrs no license in the US.

I was thinking of doing background checks on both of us just to make sure there is nothing on there that is negative. But there are so many places that do checks and when I do a review on these companies they all seem to have a bad reputation.

I Googled best place for background checks and come up with the best 10 and they all seem to have bad reviews.

I don't mind spending a little money but I want to be able to check what the companies check.

I have no worries really but living out of the country for so long and my wife being a new citizen it makes me wonder.
And also last year the IRS sent me a letter in Spanish saying I owed $ 8000 dollars and needed to call them ASAP.

I told the guy that the letter was in Spanish and I only speak English does that send up any red flags ? Any way after explaining I live overseas and am tax exempt and do not live in New York where the filing took place he realized my identity had been stolen.

Anyway with all this I just want to be sure before I send any applications out. Seems like a lot of confusion just to do a background check on the 2 of us

 

We are not drivers yet so no DAC but will they still have any info on our background.
Seems like i asked this same question before but still had trouble finding a company.

 

That Problem is all solved I believe. Took a while with the IRS, all the guy on the phone wanted at first was to know when I was sending the money. Then after a while he seemed to understand what i was saying. It would make his job much easier if I would have just paid the 8k then he would be off the phone and back on break

 

What is ISP and what is FLII, to busy to look it up right now .

Rule of thumb ........... I should be concerned ????? COME ON !!! I explained why I wanted to check my background. I have seen people on here that have said things popped up on back ground checks and driving records from years ago. I would hate to go apply and find something there I didn't know about.

You say I should be concerned as rule of thumb. REALLY ???
We are both US citizens and work on a US military base here in Korea. I work on military aircraft and have a secret security clearance.
I take your reply sort of as an insult but no biggie.

Have a great day.
