Complaint Rating:

I applied for a Transportation Security screening position advertised on Craigslist.com in New Orleans. Here is the response received:

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your intent on our job posting. I have read your resume and feel that you are qualified for the position. Due to the recent economic troubles, our company now requires all applicants to be in good credit standing before we interview you. You and 3 other candidates have been shortlisted for the job vacancy and will all be scheduled for an interview as soon as possible.

As part of the protocols of our growing company, we have deployed measures to ensure that the company is safe from any liabilities and problems from our employees, which includes getting your credit score checked.

In lieu to that, we have arranged a special free service for our applicants to get their credit checked with the following company: Credit Report


Once you have your credit check in place please send me an email confirmation as soon as possible and inform me about your credit score standing and then we will confirm your interview schedule. During the interview you will be asked to present the soft copy of your credit standing for company documentation and proof.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
All the best,

Susan McCathy
