Does a foreclosure show up on a background check?
It depends on what kind of background check you are talking about. Background check most commonly refers to a criminal background check. Since a foreclosure is not a criminal manner, it would not appear on such a record. On the other hand, a foreclosure is part of your credit history, so if someone is running a credit check on your background, the foreclosure would appear. If your only concern is what people will see on your criminal background record, you have nothing to fear with a foreclosure in your history.
It can be a good idea to get your own background check report just to find out what is in your history that others can see. You are entitled to a copy of your own credit report and your criminal record is in the public domain, so you should have no trouble getting either one. If you want a background check, you don’t have to scramble around to get one. There are a number of sites that allow you to get your background check online. All you have to do is fill out a form on your computer, submit it over the Internet and pay a fee and you can find out everything you need to know, including how your foreclosure appears on your credit report.
