Supported goals
freeze — the CFPB listing says First Advantage Resident Solutions accepts freeze requests by telephone or email. This restricts release rather than erasing tenant-screening data.
Channels and required capabilities
- Channel: current official telephone or
consumer.documents@fadv.com email route
- Harness capabilities: email and filesystem; telephone and sensitive identity handling are manual
- Destination: verify the current address and product name through First Advantage’s candidate consumer support before use
Minimum known fields
Ask only for fields required by the current official channel. The user supplies DOB, identifiers, documents, and signatures directly when required.
Procedure
- Explain that a freeze may delay or prevent a legitimate rental application.
- Confirm no imminent tenant screen needs access.
- Verify the current destination and preview exact text and disclosed fields.
- Obtain approval; the user completes sensitive or telephone steps.
Manual checkpoints
- Telephone, sensitive values, documents, signature, verification, and final submission are user-handled.
Evidence and status interpretation
A sent email is not an active freeze until confirmed. The freeze is not deletion and may not cover other First Advantage products.
Limitations
- Product naming and contact routes can change. Recheck before use.
- The user may need to lift the freeze before a rental application.
