Subject: credit score, employers, KXRM-TV Fox 21, Colorado Springs, 3 of 10The first result of the search that Bill Stanley recommends states that employment reports do not include credit scores.
However, three of the top 10 results indicate that employers use scores. Your page is one of them. One refers to a statement by a U.S. House member, and the congressman has not responded to multiple requests for evidence.
I asked the consumer reporting agencies if they provide credit scores for employment screening, and they all told me that they do not. Given that, do you still believe that employers use credit scores?
