Do employers or landlords ever want to check your American credit report prior to hiring or renting to you? I assume this is more of an American tradition since we are such credit-junkies, but I want to freeze my credit before leaving to CR and don't want to encounter any snags when we get down there.

Thanks!

I've never had any employers or landlords even mention anything about a credit check.

Cool. I really doubted it, but its so common in the States that I thought it was worth asking.
