Put a "freeze" on your credit report at all 3....
credit-reporting agencies. That prevents anyone from looking at your credit report without your permission. Costs $10.00 with each agency and can be rescinded at *your* whim.
My son has a horrible credit report and
his work history is just as bad. He was given free credit in the fact when he was young and still at home, I put him on my credit card, excellent and then he married, did not pay bills (even when he and his wife were both making over $1000.00 a week) and their credit is lousy. He never keeps a job for long, quitting because something always wrong on their end with any job.
Has anyone filed bankruptcy, had a credit report
I give up :(. I'm going to file bankruptcy but I'm concerned I won't be employable after that with another MTSO (or any other company; they almost all require credit reports these days).
just so you know, the government has a free credit report per year
lots of experts say get 1 free credit report from Equifax in January, get 1 free credit report from next biggie 4 months later, and then get 1 free credit report from the other big one 4 months after that - that way you are monitoring all 3 big credit co per year. Forgot the website but do a search - why pay for something the government (and your taxes) gives you for free.
I have had a credit report run for the 2 out of 2 MT jobs I have had over the past 10 years - nm

I had awful credit for a long time and always got employed.nm

How many lines are on a report? nm
Seriously, if you have 100 lines in a report
and one makes 10 corrections, Which is easiest/quickest, the corrections or every character of the report? You cannot tell me typing out an entire report, every character, every space, every period is quicker than making corrections. What makes me laugh is how people say it takes LONGER. Now I will not say you can DOUBLE your production, but definitely increase it by 50% which I have. I do get paid half for ASR jobs, however, I get paid 2 cents less a line, so maybe that is where your frustration comes from. That makes a difference.
It just depends on how long the report is. Are you paid by
nm
Ichart does not give us the # of reports, lines per report,
but does give a pretty instant line count, most of the time. However, that counter is set which ever way the MTSO wants it to be set. They have complete control of that setting and what the MT is paid for.
At least, that is what I was told. Inhouse we could use Ctrl I at anytime to get our exact line count -- true line count with every stroke counting.
Radiology pays per report or lines depending on
account. Per report is less than other companies out there, but line pay was about average.
How long does it take you to get those lines and is
it straight transcribing or a mix?
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
And my lines were often over 80 characters long. NM

How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?

Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm
nm
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in your new job.
I love the K. Long reports, good lines.
nm
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience!
I love the PT incentive plan. As long as some of the lines are done on SM
the weekend, it is not hard at all to reach the incentive tier. Last check, I had $95 on there that I wasn't really even expecting because I had reached the bonus tier (and didn't even know it LOL).
Wouldn't do it. You'll end up with lines that are in the 70 and 80 chars. long length. They

I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm

I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking?
Your credit?
Make sure you have their correct business address and check them out with the local better business bureau. They may be scam artists. They may not even be a real company. Who in the heck are they?
credit due you? Since when do I owe YOU anything...sm
:^p ppppffffftttttt! good bye!
you are not *owed* anything by me or anyone else, except maybe a good swift kick in the you know what, which is what YOU want to give everybody else, because they *whine* too much...according to you. so there...ppppffffttttt again. double rasberry!
What about all the credit card
numbers you give them when you order something?
Last year, I tried to order a Dell keyboard. I must have wound up on the phone with someone from India, and before I could give her my credit card number, she insisted on knowing whether it was a personal or business account.
At that point, I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving my information to her, and I hung up. I will never order anything from Dell again because of this. In fact, I've limited my on-line, over-the-phone purchases since this happened.
I agree with you that we should boycott, but maybe we shouldn't limit it to the healthcare industry. 
Why Credit Check for MT job?
Does anyone know why an MT service would want to do a Consumer Report on applicants? I can understand a background check, but why do they need to do a credit check? I've never had this come up before.
I have never had to have a credit check
to work. Not all companies do this. Granted some do but they all do not! You'll find another job just hang tight.
credit check
They do the credit check/background check because they are giving you THEIR equipment. Having worked on the inside for a few years, you would be surprised how many transcriptionists have drug problems, arrest records, identity theft, and best of all - sell the equipment for $$!!!
Credit check
I am not sure potential employers are allowed to run a credit check without your authorization. Are you sure you did not sign something authorizing them to do so? I recently filled out a long application for a hospital and then when I got to the end, there was a notification that they run credit checks. I did not finish application because I do not feel they should have access to all my financial information.
credit check
I have nothing to hide either. I have owned a house since I was 26 and my credit is excellent. My original point was I do not think they are legally able to check without your authorization. If they just want to get my credit rating number that is fine, but I do not feel an employer has any business knowing how many credit cards I have, name of my mortgage, etc., when I am sitting at home 1500 miles away from the hospital transcribing. It is not like I will be stealing from the petty cash drawer.
I'm sure not going to get into a credit score war w/you, BUT....
I can guarantee you that mine is way higher than yours - and it didn't get that way by allowing whomever wanted to look at my credit report to send me a bunch of BS through the mail or call me! I have never heard of the person to whom you referred in your last posting, but I guess there is only one expert or advisor in the world, correct? I will continue to use the freeze on my account and know that I'm protected while you on the other hand..................
Well, it seems to me if credit card
Most of the telephone reps have an accent! So, I'm sure they're sitting their with my information too. I'm sure they don't care about my last colonoscopy or Pap smear, but they sure do have my credit card number, social security number, and address. What can someone do with your medical history? Can they steal your identity with your medical history? Let's be realistic here.
Even if they tell you is ISN'T a credit check
once you give your permission they can check whatever they want by all rights because you signed on the dotted line giving them permission to do a background check.
Employers looking at your credit!
That should absolutely be none of their business about our credit report. I can see about criminal investigation, but credit, that is confidentiality and those people can steal your identity in a heartbeat especially when we have never met these people in person. We fax forms constantly to so many different MTSO companies and have no clue what they could do to destroy our credit! I would never allow a company to check out my credit report unless I was applying for a mortgage, buying a car, applying for a credit card, etc. What nerve do these companies have going into more personal detail about our own credit rating. Please...lets be so darn careful about protecting our identity. Very scary world we live in today!!!!!!!!
credit checks
Do you know if they turn people away from employment if they have bad credit.
No credit checks.
Just wanted to clarify - Execuscribe performs criminal background checks. They do not perform credit checks.
That last is an old quote. Can't take credit. :) NM

I give you much credit, but what about weekends?

Transcend does give you credit but I
am going into business for myself anyway this summer. Transcend has whacko management but at least you could see your lines.
Why would a company do a credit check?
They are not loaning you money and you're not purchasing anything on credit are you?
Equifax ... and credit reports
All,
My brother is a lender for a national bank. Running credit reports can hurt your credit. Doing credit reports are considered credit applications. Please be very careful...
How about line count credit?
MslaMT, I hope you don't mind, but I have noticed you responding to the eScription messages often, and I have been wanting to post a question to you and/or any other eScription users who would like to reply. I have been on eScription for about 5 years now, and have been very happy with it. In the past 6 months, however, my 2 main accounts have started tallying line count different (lower). I can't get a straight answer as to whether they have stopped paying for the header and footer, or if they are counting the number of characters per line differently or what. Have you had this experience on any of your eScription accounts, where overnight out of nowhere you suddenly get less credit for jobs done/lines typed? This has amounted in about a 27% pay cut, pretty drastic. This is eScription doing this without notice, not the hospital/account or the company I work for. Has anyone else had this experience?
This is not just about MTSO checking credit. It is

background & credit checks
When I applied to MQ a little over a year ago I read where they had the right to do a background check on me I hadn't been in a situation in quite some time where it would even be a second thought. I'm nowhere near a cheerleader for MQ (far from it these days), but to my knowledge they never did one. While I would play a libertarian card here, my guess is that they do this in case something arises later. It seems more a CYA thing in case the MT doesn't return their PC, or there is a question about other things (drugs or whatever).
Interestingly, as I wrote the line about an MT not returning MQs PC, I talked to my friend yesterday who actually got fired from the Q over a totally made-up situation, and she still hadn't sent the PC back to them. It's been a good 3 months by now, so go figure. Her only reason was the cost of the boxes, as she's not using it.
Hope this helps. ??
Well, that won't help my credit card debt.
A credit check really has no bearing on whether you will get a job offer
I had a phone interview with Amphion this week, and was told they would do a credit check and reference check if they decided to offer the job to me. Many places do not bother to tell you, but they do check. You can ask during any interview. I saw a bunch of posts where companies took a long time to call an applicant. It could be that they are checking up on them first before they even call to set up an interview. Most places do it as a formality. As far as I know, a bad credit report has never prevented anyone from getting a job unless they are going to be working at a bank or someplace where large amounts of money are. As far as I am concerned, just ignore it. It has no bearing on whether you will get a job offer or not. Nothing to worry about. 
You HAVE to authorize a credit check with a signature;

Btw, it is also legal for companies to share credit

Credit check IS the norm. Employers want to how
