Request of credit report
It’s usually free and easy to get a credit report requested, despite how many scam websites you see out there asking you for money to get a credit report. However, some companies will require that you send a request of credit report letter or some form of verification. The individuals who own the credit aren’t the only people who request credit reports, sometimes companies seeking employees will request credit reports as well for financial sensitive positions.
Starting to Write
Ask for a credit report of the individual in question (whether it’s someone having a background check done on them or yourself) to be sent to a certain address.
Fill in the person’s personal details that would be needed to verify the individual.
Let the company know what the credit report is for and what it will be used to verify.
