Being delayed because they sent info to wrong department

I called the courts in Montgomery County, Ohio, and they told me they didn't have any requests from Checkr.

Cons:
  • Getting replaced waiting thirty plus days of work cause they cannot process correctly

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Pick another company to do it

I can't log into their site and they do not have a phone number

AI Highlights
  • - I've tried 2 days to upload the requested information but can't log in.
  • - No phone number listed and no one responds to emails or tickets.

I've tried for 2 days to upload the additional information they're requesting. I haven't been able to log in.

They do not have a phone number listed and NO ONE is getting back to me via email or when I log a ticket.

I'm going to recommend we use Sterling at my new firm.

It's stressful enough when joining a new company. I don't need this aggravation.G

User's recommendation: Go with Sterling, not Checkr

Horrible company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Checkr background check has been pending for about six weeks and delayed three times, with no customer support number or guidance for losses.

I've waited a solid month and a half for a background check from Checkr. It's been pending for the entirety and been delayed three times.

The company is complete garbage and should have their license revoked.

They are meddling in people's money and have no response on what you should do when you are actively losing money due to their incompetence and laziness. No wonder they don't have a customer support number.

Loss:
$2
Cons:
  • Uses ai to waste time
  • Costs money
  • Inaccurate

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Anything but checkr

Sued piece of ***

I'm filing a lawsuit against Checkers for banning my DoorDash company. It *** its customers with no response after banning them. See you in court; I have a better lawyer than your *** background.

Original review updated Jan 22, 2025

I cannot get through on your website. DoorDash wants me to get a more recent background check than the one done in March when I just had a driving permit.

Now, I have a valid license. Please respond back here or preferably call me at 309-213-****.

Pros:

Resolved: All around horrible service and bad for america

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Background checks take a long time.
  • - Customer support is poor.
  • - Pricing is steep.
  • - The company is described as a monopoly.
Updated by user Nov 26, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with settlement agreement.

Original review Nov 25, 2024

They take forever to process a background check. Their customer support is extremely poor.

They've cost me many jobs even though I have a clean background. Their pricing is steep. All they have is being a reputable business, which they don't even deserve. They're a monopoly.

This is one of the worst businesses in America and it is a big part of people's lack of business opportunities. This is because everyone has to go through this poorly-run monopoly.

It's malpractice and negligence. Someone needs to bury this company.

Loss:
$15000
Cons:
  • Everything about it

Preferred solution: For them to be better at responding through customer support. I message them many times no response. I have a clean background yet they won’t alter the processing.

User's recommendation: Don’t fund this cancer.

Cannot fill Candidate Information page for Background Verification

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - No customer support; live agents show a 'no customer support available' message.
  • - The form does not proceed; phone contact is requested.

The service is so pathetic; there is no customer support. I have been trying to get a live agent, but 24/7, I get a 'no customer support available' message.

I am trying to fill out the candidate information form, and the form just doesn't proceed ahead. Please tell me how to contact you by phone and fix this.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Unable to speak to human regarding background report

AI Highlights
  • - I am blocked from logging into Uber Eats due to a 2018 background check.
  • - I have a 2021 background check that I can't submit to Uber or Checkr.

I tried to log in to deliver for Uber Eats. I was told I couldn't because of my background check.

The one they have is from 2018. I have one from 2021 that I have no way to submit to anyone with Uber or Checkr. I'm absolutely appalled by anyone calling themselves a CSR and any company who claims to have customer service. However, there's no option to speak to a live person at all.

It gives two options and then it hangs up on you. These big companies don't care about the customers. The same customers who made their businesses.

Without customers, you wouldn't have a company or a job. But we customers get no help at all from any customer service department in any company.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Don’t use uber or checkr

They charged my account twice and when I tried to get a refund for 1 of the charges I can't get ahold of them and the spot that said customer service wants to charge me a sign up fee of 48 dollars to

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Double charged with no contact for refund.
  • - Requires a $48 membership for a $64.99 refund.
  • - Overdrawn account and bank fee from the charge.

Double charged and no one to talk to to get a refund. The customer service line they have wants me to sign up for a membership of 48 dollars to give me my refund of 64.99.

Due to the double charge it overdraw my checking account. Now the little bit of money I had to get by this week is gone and now I have to pay a bank fee

Can't get a job with doordash or Uber because in a semi background check from checker had something in it

AI Highlights
  • - I didn't receive an email about my background check, I can't reach anyone, and sign-in shows an error, so I need another way to contact them.

I never received an email about my background check, and I can't get a hold of anybody. Every time I try to sign in, the checker tells me that there is something wrong, and I'll have to try another way of getting a hold of them. I've never been in trouble, so I don't understand what is going on.

Cons:
  • No phone number

Preferred solution: I'll copy of my background check

This is senseless and ridiculous, and nobody is fixing the issue! It keeps telling my job that I need a background check every month, and it stops my job until it is done again.

I have reported this on several occasions, and it is being ignored! I keep getting emails to update an already finished background check over and over, and I'm tired of it!
