Useless Expungement Orders

WHY EXPUNGE ORDERS ARE USELESS UNLESS CRIMINAL DATABASE COMPANIES ARE UPDATED

Court records are open to the public. Private companies all over the country collect criminal history and other personal information from court records. These companies store that information on their own computers. In the normal course of things, no one informs these companies when a record is expunged. The courts do not even keep track of who has searched their records. Therefore the information that those companies previously stored can still be reported, not by the court, and not by State or the National Crime Information Center, but by these private companies.

Records Removal Services provides this service with your expungement order.

There is no complete solution to this problem. A partial solution exists through Records Removal Services. Reputable companies will remove arrest and conviction information upon notice from Records Removal Services. Companies that refuse to do so expose themselves to civil and criminal penalties.

Records Removal Services has identified approximately fifty six (56) of these companies. These fifty six or so companies may account for as much as ninety five percent of all private criminal history searches.
