If you are seeking employment, and a employer wants to run a credit check on you before they will hire you, they are breaking the law. An employer can only obtain your S.S.# after, you are an employee.
Hawaii and Washington are the only states currently, that will not allow a potential employer to run a credit checks on their potential employee.
