Comprehensive Background Reports
Know Who You're Really Dealing With
Thorough, professionally documented background investigations by a licensed Illinois PI with 20+ years of experience. Every report is investigative work product — not an automated database pull.
Important: These Are Not FCRA Consumer Reports
Reports produced by P.I. Radames are investigative work product compiled under Illinois PI License No. 115-002640. They are not consumer reports as defined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681, and may not be used to determine an individual's eligibility for employment, housing, credit, or insurance. All clients must certify a lawful permissible purpose in writing before any background investigation begins.
