What is the hive's experience with having a background check run on someone?

Here is the situation:

Guy is dating my sister. He lives in another state about 4 hours away. Supposedly divorced. Guy is a complete ass. I need to find out anything that I can on him. He has moved into an apartment in that city just a few months ago.

I do not have his social security number or driver's license number. I don't know how low this guy is flying under the radar and thus my question. I don't want to pay if the info. I can get online is not much.

Or, would I be better off getting a local PI to run a background check as opposed to using one of those online outfits? If online, which one do you recommend?

I am looking for his true marital status and other things such as lawsuits, bankruptcy, etc.


Thx!!!

do the private investigating yourself!

Does the state he is a resident of have an online criminal database that is open to the public?  Some states let you view that stuff for free on a state government website.

I would except for the time and distance involved.

Also, I want independant verification so that if and when I present it to my sister she cannot say I made it up. There is a lot more to the story, but to say the least, his intentions are not honorable.

Most charge a fee (from $10-$50)

I have tried that.

I am much more interested in any civil matters. Lawsuits, etc.

A PI will just use a similar database to the ones you can do yourself online.
