My background investigator sent me an e-mail saying that he had some questions about some things that came up in his investigation. They were nothing major and all had very good explainations and proof that I handled the situations.

They were things such as my references not sending back questionnaires fast enough, 4 things showing up on my Credit History that I didn't disclose (but I did, just under different names) and showed as still being outstanding, when they have been paid off. They were things like my work history, he needed a more detailed accurate account for exactly where and when I worked, and why I left, etc.

Most difficultly he absolutely needed me to find an ex-girlfriend of mine whom I havn't spoken with in 3 or 4 years.

The purpose of this post though, isn't to say I'm owned because of that, it's to say I'm owned because of how many pages at 9pt font in Microsoft Word it took me to write a reply with the facts and information needed. It took me four friggen pages! Check out the screen shot... (If the image is too big for most of you, just reply here and I'll just link it rather than embed it)

**EDIT** it's too big, so just click the link.

Under different names? Like co-signed accounts?

 

No, as in I had a "Chase Credit Card" that I had gotten behind on payments in (and then paid off in full) and Chase got bought out by MBNA. So it showed up on my Credit Report as a debt with MBNA, which first off is my CHASE Credit Card and second off is paid off in full. There were two instances like that.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Don't mind me, I've got a virus in me and I haven't been able to think straight the past few days.

 

I should also add that I had to write this thing twice. The first time I wrote it, I was writing it on my web-based e-mail server (running SquirrelMail), by the time I finished it SquirrelMail had timed out and asked me to re-login before I could send the e-mail. When I logged in, the e-mail was gone. Had to start over from scratch, by grabbing figures from W-2's, Phone Numbers, Addresses, Account Numbers, Payment Receipts, etc, etc, etc. It sucked.

 

Why do they ask for a reference back to an old gf?

 

A couple reasons, they ask for a few just to make sure you weren't abusive and because the girlfriends tend to have a really in-depth knowledge of your person. More specifically of your person when you get upset, how your temper is, etc.

The one in question was one that I lived with, so it was of special importance to the background investigator since he assumed she knows a *whole lot* about my good, and bad, habits.
