Background Check: IBD SA - Employer Check and Credit Check

Hi Guys,

wanted to ask the guys who went through the background check already. Do you know whether it is required to given the background checking company the contact details of someone operative or are these firms fine with just the HR of my previous companies?

Also how strict is the credit check? I got some student loans in the range of 30k US Dollar

Thank you!!
