So Checkr is asking for a w2 or 1099 for a former employer but they have no customer service or anyone to even talk to!!! This is absoute bs that even though my background is clear and I have no tickets ornfelonies but they have paused the process because I need to verify a former job!!!

This company asked me to EMAIL social security numbers to them for background checks. Totally violates all standard knowledge for privacy/security. Knowing that, I would NOT trust them with anyone's private info.

I do not recommend Checkr as an employer. They will charge you any additional checks you add, EVEN if these are not completed. It was not a helpful and I recommend you save yourself the headache.

HORRIBLE service. I paid $176 for a background check on myself. I paid for upgraded services on their website and paid for the service with my debit card. I received an email the next day that my background search had been paused and then terminated because they were having problems gathering the data. You would think if they were not able to provide the service paid for they would refund the charges. They will not. This is a dishonest company. I would urge anyone needing this type of service to take the time to find a trustworthy company.

Got my background check done by Checkr and Uber immediately disabled my account. I looked at Checkr's report and it said I have a Driving Under Suspension on my background check. I went to the DMV and was told that it isn't on my driving record and Checkr did not get that information from them and I ended up paying for my own abstract driving record for the last 3 years and it doesn't show Driving Under Suspension on my driving record. They tell me it can take up to 30 days to dispute their background check findings, so now I am out of work because they cannot perform an accurate background check. How is this company still in business? How many people have they screwed over?

Terrible company. They mess up your information, they give employers the wrong stuff about you. They are NOT able to even verify the drivers license. WHAT A JOKE.

I was a police officer in training. I arrested people. I took them to jail. Wrote reports. Parted ways with the department on good terms. It just wasnt the job for me. Moving onto other things and Im stuck with this company holding me underwater with no one to talk to but Ai. Of course, the first thing they did was make it clear to my current job that I maybe quitting. Now Im stuck with ans awkward wait to see when I can put in my 2 weeks while I lose money because they dont know if Im staying or for how long. My boss at my current job also thought someone stole my identity when they got the message from them. Making me face homelessness again, but now with no net. How does it take so long to do a background check when there is a phonebook worth of background information on me?
