While looking for new employment, I was asked to submit to a Background Check. No problem to me, or so I thought. It came back "red". I called the company performing the check and they cannot verify my employer from the mid 1990's. Here is what went on, explaining it to them helped none.
Went to work for Company A, six months after I hired on Company B bought a number of Company A stores (mine included). One more year later, Company A bought out all of Company B's stores and changed the name to their own... Company B went out of business.
They wanted me to submit Tax records proving my employment. I had a house fire - total loss of all my possessions, including tax documents, about 7 years ago. I didn't get the job b/c I did not have the proof.
How can I rectify this problem as most of the jobs I apply for are requesting Background Checks? I don't want to keep running in to this problem.
1 more question - my ex-wife filed bogus domestic violence charges against me during our divorce when she discovered she was losing custody of our kids to me. I brought evidence (taped phone conversations) to court and it proved she and her boyfriend were lying to the court, my attorney stated this judge was hard and wouldn't totally dismiss the case. He would however, probably reduce the charge to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, which is exactly what he did. Totally frustrated me, but it was better than falsely being charged with the other. How will this charge affect these Background checks???
