Docketly has a wide range of clients whom use our services, from the little guys to the big ones we serve them all. 

Over the past few years, we’ve heard rumblings about the new requirements the CFPB is placing on our clients and the industry as a whole. Several of our largest collection law firms approached us and asked whether we had the ability, and interest, in screening our attorneys for a criminal background. Of course we do! So we made it happen.

Don't worry, we still have our Attorneys in mind! 

We wanted to limit the scope of the background check to ease the privacy concerns of our attorneys. Therefore, we decided it would be prudent to run a nationwide 10 year (where not prohibited by law) criminal background check that focused on convictions of financial crimes. We send the authorizations to our vendor, who complete the checks and send back the information to our servers with a PDF which is then stored securely in each attorneys’ account.
