		<description>I have an interveiw tomorrow and have been asked to fill out a form for a credit report. My issue is how can they ask me to fill out this form when it clearly asks for my date of birth. Then they will know my age and it&#039;s it against the law for them to ask ones age? They are getting around it by asking for a credit report then? I&#039;m in my late 40s and think they may use this against me since they can hire someone else much younger for probably cheaper. Is there no way out besides providing them with my own credit report?

		<description>Sadly you have no rights. 

If you have a back ground check and say you have a bankruptcy. They can just not hire you and say that had nothing to do with it. Even though it was the only reason you went from them saying your our top choice so far we will let you know this week to never hearing from again. 

Allowing buisnesses to do this as part of the hiring process is just wrong. (( Although bankruptcies are public record, employers are NOT permitted to discriminate against you based on them)) 

This is just wishfull thinking. Buisness will even fire you over your credit score if they feel like it. Rich people know the fastest way to stay rich is to surround yourself with others that have money. Uninforcible law is the same as no laws at all. You have rights on paper, but that is it.

The same can be said on almost any aspect of a back ground check. If they can get their hands on it consider it used in any way they see fit. The burden of proof is on you if you try to fight it and you are in a system that makes sure you have no proof.</description>
