Background Check Failures? (Originally Posted: 12/19/2014)
So I just signed my offer and am going through their background check. I have three minor issues which I'm worried could bite me in the ass.
First, I just paid off a $160 bill to my old appt. complex from 6 months ago (it was over some damages to the unit left by maintenance) and I'm worried that could hurt me in a credit check. I tried contacting the managers multiple times to dispute the charges, but was completely ignored and never had calls or emails returned, so I just sucked it up.
Secondly, one of the firms I worked for and listed on my resume was a well known startup, but for tax purposes I have a staffing agency as my employer of record. Everyone I report to works for the startup and I have a corporate email account and whatnot and they said they'd gladly vouch for me, I just don't want to get dinged for dishonesty.
Thirdly my current internship is unpaid and as far as I know I've never even given them my social, so I don't know if it would show up on a background check. Granted the current project they put me on may have some associated payment, so this could be a moot point.
So am I worrying over nothing or do I need to start some damage control?

Nothing you mentioned would even rise to the point of needing a waiver.
