A public records check can be a miserable experience, but it doesn't have to be.
The reason that it's miserable, or potentially so, is that public records are government records.
If you've had the misfortune to deal with the government for, well, anything, then you probably understand what I'm talking about.
Trying to search public records can be a headache.
Because of the way our government functions, the records system is a mess.
Things are sometimes in paper, sometimes available digitally, and there's no particular rhyme or reason to which you'll get.
On top of this, you have apathetic employees that aren't really inclined to help you.
And that's if the records still exist.
Over the years, lots of stuff gets lost, or destroyed, or just doesn't appear to exist.
If you're going to try and do a public records check, then you should probably a lot of nice chunk of time to do it.
But that's only if you do things the hard way.
The Hard Way oTry and figure out what office has the records.
oTry and figure out where the office that has the records actually is.
oTry and figure out what the hours of said office are.
oGo to the office oDig through the dusty records and hopefully find them.
oCopy relevant information oStart back at step one for any additional information Or, you can try it..
...
The Easy Way oLog onto your computer oHead to a site where the information is compiled oPay a small fee oGet the information Yes, the easy way really is that easy.
There's no real need to do the legwork associated with the hard way.
If you need to do a public records check, I know which one I'd choose, but you might like breathing in dust more than I do.
