Employment Data Freeze Assistance
We walk you through placing freezes on the databases that store your work history and income—so verifiers can't pull your record without you lifting the freeze first.
Confidential · No judgment · Cancel anytime
Commercial employment databases like The Work Number and LexisNexis hold payroll and screening data that lenders, landlords, and background check companies can pull on demand—often without you ever opting in. Freezing those records puts you back in control.
What we help with
- The Work Number (Equifax) — employment and income verification data
- LexisNexis — screening and public-records databases used in background checks
- Related services — guidance on where else your data may live and how to restrict access
What we don't do
We don't submit forms on your behalf without you present, provide legal advice, or guarantee a specific employer outcome. You complete each freeze in your own name—we make sure you have the right documents, the right fields, and a clear confirmation path.
How to get started
Email us at contact@backgroundready.com with which bureau you want to freeze (or both). We'll reply with next steps and scheduling.
