All Background Checks are conducted through Loss Prevention Specialists, Inc., an affiliate of CCI

(See Background Check Descriptions)

How does CCI obtain their background check information?

Our comprehensive information retrieval network allows us to access public records data located throughout the United States as well as Internationally. Corporate Combat's®; affiliate Loss Prevention Specialists, Inc. (LPS) accesses courts directly in order to obtain the most current and up-to-date information available. All search requests are processed by a Professional Research Specialist responsible for the jurisdiction where your request must be serviced. Only up-to-date criminal background checks, public records, credit reports, driving records, and criminal history reports are obtained.

Does CCI offer the lowest prices anywhere?

Yes and No. There are numerous companies that offer background checks at prices that are very, very low. These are background checks that are considered "indexed," or outdated/archived information. LPS will never provide index information for criminal records. Index's are databases of stored criminal information that are generally 30 - 90 days old, or older. Our information does not come from a database or name index, which are only periodically updated. We pull the records directly from the case file at the courthouse that gives you up-to-the-minute information. Therefore, our prices are likely higher than some of our "competitors." It is not our desire to provide inaccurate or inadequate information on arguably the most important decision a business will make: Hiring the best candidate, or Investigating serious violations such as fraud. It is not our desire to get our clients sued--nor to be named in a lawsuit! NOTE: The price difference in bad information vs. good information is typically less than $10 -$15. Compare this investment with the cost of just one meeting with an attorney because someone was trying to "cut corners" to save a buck. Plus, once the RATIONS™ are applied, LPS in all probability does offer the lowest prices-even when compared against the "bargain basement" data.

Do I have a right to perform a background check on a potential employee?

You not only have a right, but an obligation to yourself, your business, and other existing employees who desire a safe and honest work environment. We are each a product of our past. The collection of experiences--good and bad--that define our past do not necessarily determine our future. However, a person's background does clearly influence what he or she can and will become. Therefore, an employer has an obvious need to know fundamental facts in an applicant's background that may play a role in their future. The goal is to find individuals who will be best suited for the jobs the company offers. This takes input from a variety of sources, including background investigations. The second reason pre-employee screening is so important is the very real threat of liability employers face under the legal doctrine of "negligent hiring."

An employer was once held generally liable only when a wrong was committed while acting within the scope of employment. It is now recognized that the employer may also be liable for acts of the employee outside the scope of employment, if a connection can be shown between the injury and the employment of the individual in question. Courts are now accepting the premise that some facts in employees' backgrounds should disqualify them for a given position--for example, a driver with a long history of reckless driving, a salesperson or serviceman with a background of violent assault, or a bookkeeper with a record of theft.

If the employee causes a foreseeable injury to a third party and the court determines that the employer's failure to detect or heed the warning signs was unreasonable, the company may be held liable for damages. And, large awards are usually sought in these types of lawsuits. In many cases, juries have awarded substantial monetary damages to victims.

Since this risk cannot be easily quantified, employers are advised to exercise the utmost care in the investigation and selection of all employees. A review of employee screening procedures is suggested to ensure all relevant information is obtained before the applicant is hired. Falsification or exaggeration of credentials on resumes and employment applications is at an all-time high, according to the Employment Management Association.

Am I guaranteed results?

YES! And, of course NO! Yes if you use the site, and No if you don't. It's that simple. Here is an example of what happened when several members used the site:

"A new Corporate Combat® member saved $275 in fees! He did this, and resolved a serious theft problem, BEFORE he received his User ID and Password. He hadn't even been to his site yet!" - Houston, TX

"A Nationwide company joined CCI. After several free consultations, discounts on background checks and investigations, three employee thieves were caught, terminated, and prosecuted! This company paid for their ANNUAL membership in just the savings from the waived consultation fees." - Minneapolis, MN

"A National company joined CCI and began to realize immediate savings from not having to call their attorney for the same consulting offered FREE from CCI. This is the same advice attorneys call CCI to receive when the client asks them for the advice or "expert opinion" -then they charge the clients the high rates of $200-$250 per hour! This client not only received, and continues to receive, free consulting, but they also have caught and dismissed (and prosecuted) several employee thieves." - Minneapolis, MN

How long does it take for a membership to pay for itself?

With our FIVE STAR GENERAL GUARANTEE most annual memberships are literally paid for within the first 90 days!
