"Credit Checks Are Legitimate Screening Tool"

According to Pamela, a credit score is a number that gives a snapshot of a period of time; employers do not see this information. A credit report covers a longer period and provides information regarding a person’s different types of debt. She added, “We’re not talking about a litmus test that a person is automatically disqualified here” because of his or her credit report. The article noted that Pam specializes in the FCRA and state laws affecting background screening and is a past member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Professional Background Screeners.
