What is in my iReviewNow® Report?

---

In your initial report, you will see the consumer report or background check as provided by the background screening provider (also known as a consumer reporting agency.) You will have the opportunity to view the entire report and report any inaccuracies at the same time as the user, such as a prospective employer or credit grantor. You will be able to explain any adverse information or submit any additional documentation, which becomes part of your report. iReviewNow did not perform the background check or prepare the consumer report, as iReviewNow is the communication link allowing you the opportunity to view the report.

Why is my report found in iReviewNow®?

---

You consented to use iReviewNow when you signed an authorization for the report to be prepared by your employer, prospective employer, credit grantor, or other user of the report.

Can iReviewNow® remove or change my Reports?

---

iReviewNow is dedicated to delivering accurate reports. iReviewNow is not a background screening provider or consumer reporting agency, as it only stores your reports prepared by such providers and authorized by you to be transmitted to iReviewNow. Records like public or court records cannot be changed because iReviewNow only reports what these offices have on file about you. The information you give and your iReviewNow answers will be added to your iReviewNow report. This is so your employer or other user of the report can benefit from your explanations. This way they will know what information is wrong or incomplete. This can also give them your explanation for any negative information that was on your report. The FBI and courts (and other government offices) have steps you must take if you think their information is not complete or right.

What should I send in to explain or correct my report?

---

You may send in documents that help prove the information on your report is incorrect, such as court records, probation records, or identification documents. Though not required, any documents you have that provide proof of your dispute can speed reinvestigations. You may also attach documents that help explain things about you like your background or character. These documents can also help explain the steps you have taken to become a better employee, applicant, or candidate. Documents may include (but are not limited to) things like rehabilitation, education, or self improvement programs/efforts such as: 1. Certified Court Records 2. Probation, Parole, or Supervised Release Records 3. Diplomas or Certificates of Education 4. Letters from people telling about your character 5. Explanations of how you’ve accepted responsibility for mistakes or convictions 6. Explanations and documents of how you have improved or rehabilitated yourself. Do not send any files or records that you do not want released to your employer or other user of the report. Also do not transmit documents that might be protected by law because they will become part of your official iReviewNow Report. 7. Certificates from court programs showing you have completed classes for anger management, rehabilitation, or other programs. 8. DO NOT alter official records, as such may be a violation of several federal or state laws, such as the False Report Act.
