This statement indicates the applicant's employer uses a fee service to verify employment, such as The Work Number. At this time, we do not verify employment through these types of services as doing so would add substantially to the cost of our reports to consumers. We do recommend seeing proof of employment on-site in these cases, such as at least 2 consecutive paystubs and/or tax records.

Troubleshooting
The best way to correct an error is to submit a Support Request.
Server generated emails are occasionally blocked by junk email and spam filters. Assure receipt of MyScreeningReport.com® emails by adding myscreeningreport.com as a trusted domain in Outlook and as trusted web-sites in your browser. If you are using one of the popular browser-based email applications (Gmail, Comcast, Yahoo, etc.) - adding service@myscreeningreport.com and support@onboardingsystems.com as contacts may help.
Protecting your information is our first priority. We must first authenticate you - confirm that you are who you say you are - before preparing and delivering your tenant screening report. A failure to authenticate can occur for several reasons.
- An inability to match on the name, SSN, and address information entered by you with your Experian credit profile; or
- A failure to answer a sufficient number of security questions necessary to meet or exceed our requirements.
Address mismatches are most common, especially among those who move frequently. The credit bureau is dependent on creditors to supply current address information. If you have not received an offer of credit or applied for credit since you lived at your current address - the bureau (Experian in this case) likely has a previous address. Depending on how many times you tried, you may be locked out of the system for 24 hours or more. If not, or it has been 24+ hours - you may wish to try again using a previous address. Note that for added security, applicants are limited to a single browser session and three attempts. Accessing our program via simultaneous browser sessions (browser tabs) or failing to answer a sufficient number of questions correctly will return an authentication error and lock you out for 72 hours.
To revoke an invitation to share your report select the "Revoke Share" button located on your dashboard next to the shared report activity listing. Revoking the share will make it so your shared MyScreeningReport is no longer available in the Landlord account that it was shared with.
