About 10 years ago when I was a kid I got in trouble with the law and received a PTI. At the time it was explained to me that the charges that I was "convicted" of would not show up on my record once the probation time was served, the restitution paid, and community service fulfilled. I completed all of those things. I am now in a financial position and just got a job that has told me that they require a background check. Is my PTI going to show up on my background check? Do I need to actually go and get it expunged or is that only when you are actually convicted for a charge? Please help. This could be very embarassing to me being that a friend unaware of my past has gotten me this job. Also, to get something expunged, I have read, takes 4 months. Which is about 3 months and 2 weeks to long..
Please help!!

I was 19 at the time and cashed a check for my dumb ex boyfriend. (yes I was a stupid kid). Anyway, they were fraud charges to be exact.

I never said I was a juvenile...
I used the term "kid" Big difference.
That's why I am wondering! Will someone that actually wants to read the question please answer...

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNHIB
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Getting a crime expunged is tough if you weren't a juvi. Take your chances, companies don't do a background check - they contract with companies who do. The company that actually performs the check has certain criteria they look for and if it is real specific - great you got the job. If their criteria is general then you may not get the job but you will know next time.

You could put your mind at ease by running your own background check on yourself.
Google "background check" for lots to choose from, and pick one that specifies criminal background check. DON"T pick a cheapie 19.95 one, that won't work, what you need is more in the 60-100 range.
Since you can provide all the right data, it should be complete.
That's the only way you'll know for sure. This way you will see what an employer will be looking at.

Pretty sure juvi records are sealed. Don't sweat it. Unless you're going for one of those "If I tell you I have to kill you" government jobs, a standard background check should come up clean. If it is a super secret type of job, best to come clean up front.
What did you do? Vandalize some public property? That's minor stuff.

You committed this crime at the age of 19? Then you committed it as an adult and not a juvenile.
Ok fine at the age of 19 you are not considered a "kid" in the eyes of the law. You are an adult.
