    Do background checks show Restitution?
    If a person agrees to pay back restitution and is not arrested or taken to a police station or asked to come to court, will it show on a background check? And once you pay the restitution, does it show up still or is it just.. gone?

    Hello jf:

    No conviction - no mark on your background.

    Thanks for your answer Ex,
    One other thing though--
    In my case, I was told to fill out a confession so if I decide not to pay they have some more evidence to use of me in court. So once I pay any idea what happens to the confession? Can it still be found through a background check?

    Again, NO Conviction NO record. Its as simple as that. However, that's for a standard background check.

    Depending on the company and the position they may do a more in depth check which might find more particulars.

    Is there any way to completely get it off a record? That way a person could get a better job?

    That depends on what record and who is keeping it.

    As I said, it will not show up on any normal background check. But it sounds like you stole money from a previous employer. So if you are applying for a job where you will be handling money, then they might do a more thorough check.
