I requested a reference check be made on multiple persons. If the information can be extracted from them or from other sources, the following was provided in a comprehensive report:
- Recommendation of acceptance or otherwise
- Previous addresses, confirmed or otherwise
- Credit Check, includes CCJ history and bankruptcy
- Risk Score, e.g. High Risk with a numerical figure
- Bank Account details and whether or not they have Direct Debits or not, details not provided obviously
- Employment income, duration of, and current employment address
- Recommendation for guarantor or not
- Right to Rent with evidence for it.
I was kept informed of efforts to acquire the above, and it continued for weeks when the person was not identifiable from whatever searches the agency does and continued with requests put to the person concerned to provide missing information.
I hope that helps
