Background check with pending charges
I have court in 2 weeks for a charge that was issued earlier this year (theft under 5k). I had an interview yesterday and they said everything looked good, but they have to submit a background check (not sure what type; bondable, child abuse, etc.). I was just wondering that since it's not a conviction, I'm sold it won't show up. But, I'd like to hear it from someone with a little more experience than me.
Basically the question is, Will pending charges for a theft under 5000 appear on a background check? Thanks! |

And the answer is... yes, in it will appear on a background check. At least where I live. Interesting that you mentioned a background check and you weren't sure what type, bondable, child abuse(what is this all about; whatever you are convicted of, pending to be convicted of, whatever is filed in court documents will show up... even child abuse the more horendous as far as I am concerned.

Hello again, in:
I think we're ALL right. Because, there's no such thing as a BACKGROUND check. What there are, are a jillion kinds of backgrounds checks, just like there's a jillion kinds of hamburgers. In the marketplace, what there is, is an amount of money that a person or company is WILLING to spend to find out about somebody. Some companies might just do an internet background search. Ok, there ISN'T an internet background search. There's a jillion kinds of internet background searches. In the marketplace, there are people who do good work, and there are people who market well. They're not the same thing. Like any business, some people do it well - others do not. So, SOME internet background searches MIGHT show your record, and some MIGHT not. Now, if the person who's interested in your background REALLY wants to know about you and is willing to spend the money necessary and knows WHO to spend it with, THAT person will find out about you. What I'm saying to you, is there's a difference between a cheeseburger and a filet mignon. excon |

I live in Canada too. My employer several years ago as a stipulation of hiring me, wanted a background check so I went to the police station in town, paid 25 dollars and had it done. Of course nothing came up. The background check is given to YOU, you pick it up and because of the freedom of information act no one but you can see it first.

Thanks for clearing that up excon, I know exactly what you mean.
Basically since it's for best buy, they are doing it themselves, I guess they can spend however much they want to. Thanks for the information. I guess I'll have to wait and call them like they said, I just don't want it to be insanely awkward, lol. |

In the US,
I will disagree with excon on this one, if you were going to be hired at McDonlads or Texico, no it would not show up, But arrests are visible even if later dismissed to police and the courts. So yes any arrest that has been reported to the NCIC national data base ( and has had time to be entered) will show up to the court on their background check. A pre-trial investigation is not a standard employment record search, but they have access to all of the NCIC report, even the restricted part. As a police officer when I ran a NCIC report, I would see every arrest, those dismissed, those found not guilty, pre trial diversion, and convictions, all of them. |

Pending charges do show up on a criminal background check in the United States, I called a background check company and asked them. If you do not believe me call them yourself. The number is Toll-Free:888 792-4473. I don't know if they show up with all criminal background companies or not. I think that people should really be innocent until proven guilty instead of having a crime that you did not commit and is in the process of being dismissed held against you. Good luck everyone.

Well the thing is he is not in this country and even thought the charges will still stand today I want to k now exactly how serious they are and everything else but I do not know how to go about it. Im in my twenties and have no answers as to my fathers status it sucks |

If he never responded to the charges they are still open. If warrants were issued they still exist (warrants never die). Either get a notarized letter of permission from your father and take that to the Police Station and ask about open warrants/charges OR retain an Attorney who can accomplish the same thing. And I'm in NY. Your father should know how serious the charges are. Doesn't he know what he was charged with? If he was out on bail chances are the charges are serious or at least serious enough to cause him to jump bail and flee. |

Hello again, help: Well, I don't know what the charges were in the first place. Whatever they were, they still are. The additional charges have to do with him leaving. If he comes back, they'll most likely be dropped, and he'll only face the original charge. That is if he comes back on his own. If they catch him, it will be a lot worse. So, I don't know what he wants to do. You didn't say. If he stays out of the country, he could be safe... But, who knows? Anything can happen. The only way you're going to find out information about his case is through a lawyer. In fact, he needs one, in order to arrange for his self surrender. Let me know what he wants to do.. excon |
