A True Blue Fan from Philly asked:
The potential employer called it a ‘consumer report or investigative consumer report’ in the instructions but it had the FCRA disclosure.

I signed permission to do a background check pre-employment. It is the FCRA background check. I have shady credit only because I had bankruptcy 3 years ago. I was told that cannot be a reason to not be hired.
What else may be checked? I have no criminal background but was fired from a job 16 years ago for illness/missed work.
My last employer said she has not heard from anyone yet and the application/FCRA background check permission was filled out online on 7/31.
I ran a credit check yesterday and there was no inquiry on it.
I called recruiting Friday and they said that they couldn’t tell me anything but that my application was there and active.
