| Q:
How many people typically show up as criminals?
A: We found that
19% had a criminal record. Of those, 9% have felony convictions. |

tend to have good or bad credit?

the applicants we process have 100% positive or good credit. |

Do applicants generally have previous rental history?
A: Approximately
50% of the applicants we process have no rental history. |
| Q: Do you uncover
lots of evictions?
A: We show that
8% of the applicants were evicted. |
| Q:
What is the average turn around time for a full application
verification?
A: If the
application is completely filled out properly, our average turn
around time is three business hours. |
| Q: What are some of
the things that slow down the verification process?
A: Incorrect or
incomplete information on the application. When we have to
search for phone numbers to reach former apartment managers or
employers because the applicant gave us the wrong numbers or
left them off, this is a definite slow down. Also, when the soon
to be former residence has not received a 30-day notice. They
usually will not release any information to us without that. |
| Q:
What counties can you perform criminal searches in?
A: Every county
in the United States. We also have access to some foreign
countries database. |
| Q: What makes you
better than your competitors?
A:
Verification Plus has a parent company, Certified Recovery
Systems, LLP. They are a collection agency with a broad
clientele of apartments all over the nation. We
initially started out to service our current collection clients
but the demand from other businesses became apparent so our
business has grown. Our
clients like what we do and have been telling their friends and
colleagues. With a
background in the collections, we have the experience to know
how to weed the bad from the good.
We know how important it is for you to accept individuals
that will not cause problems for your company.
They could cost you money due to evictions, broken lease
agreements or damaged units.
You can be confident in our ability and desire to provide
you with the tools to make the right decisions.
