Background-check removal

Background Check Removal Service

Background-check removal software from $19/month for CRA disputes, deadline tracking, 8 data-broker opt-outs, and documented CFPB escalation drafts.

Direct answer

Clean My Past's background-check removal software starts at $19/month. It helps users organize reports, draft evidence-based FCRA disputes, track reinvestigation deadlines, manage opt-outs for 8 people-search brokers, and prepare CFPB escalation text. Users request reports and submit every dispute or opt-out themselves; Clean My Past does not promise that an accurate, legally reportable record will be removed.

What you get for the monthly cleanup plan

  • A structured place to organize the report, disputed records, court-order evidence, and submission proof.
  • FCRA dispute-letter drafting for inaccurate, outdated, mixed-file, duplicate, or stale cleared-record reporting.
  • Deadline tracking for the 30-day reinvestigation window and follow-up reminders.
  • Data-broker opt-out tracking for supported people-search sites.
  • CFPB complaint draft text when a documented dispute is ignored, mishandled, or late.

Which background-check companies the workflow covers

The workflow can be used for reports from Checkr, HireRight, Sterling, GoodHire, First Advantage, or another consumer reporting agency named in your notice. The exact submission route depends on the company that produced your report.

Clean My Past does not retrieve a report or contact a reporting company for you. It gives you provider-specific instructions, organizes the evidence you upload, and prepares materials for you to review and submit.

How long background-check removal can take

  • CRA disputes: generally 30 days after receipt, with a possible extension in some circumstances when additional information is provided.
  • Supported data-broker opt-outs: typical published processing ranges in the tracker are 7 to 30 days, followed by quarterly rechecks because profiles can return.
  • Court-record clearing: often 30 to 180 days or longer, depending on the state, court, remedy, and objections.
  • No timeline guarantees removal. Accuracy, reportability, court eligibility, and each company's process control the outcome.

Who this service is for

This is for people who already have, or can obtain, the background-check report causing the problem and want a repeatable system for preparing disputes, tracking deadlines, and documenting escalations.

Still researching the right path?

If you are not sure whether to dispute a report or clear the court record first, start with the broader background-check clearing guide and then come back when you are ready to start cleanup.

FAQ

Fast answers

Can a sealed record still show on a background check?

Yes. That is exactly why FCRA cleanup exists. A private CRA must reinvestigate properly disputed inaccurate or outdated information.

Does Clean My Past contact CRAs for me?

No. The user submits disputes through the CRA's consumer process. Clean My Past generates materials and tracks deadlines.

Which background-check companies can I dispute?

The workflow supports provider-specific instructions for Checkr, HireRight, Sterling, and other consumer reporting agencies named in a report or adverse-action notice.

Can Clean My Past remove an accurate criminal record?

An FCRA dispute is for inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, mixed-file, or outdated reporting. An accurate record may require expungement, sealing, restriction, vacation, or another state remedy before private-report cleanup is appropriate.
