How to opt out of Background Information Services, Inc.
Background Information Services, Inc. is a Background Check data broker (US).
compliance@bisi.com replied (2026-09-11) that BIS is a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and states it does not compile, provide, or sell unsolicited data to third parties, nor keep/maintain/opt-in consumer data into any database - so an erasure request is a dead end regardless of address. They also had no background report on file for this requester specifically. Was miscategorized as marketing.

About background-check companys
Background-check and screening companies sell reports built from court, address and employment records to employers, landlords and the public. Some are consumer reporting agencies, which gives you access and dispute rights as well as deletion, and the law can require them to keep some records. Ask for access first if you want to see what they hold.
