Do I have the right to withhold my credit report contingent on preliminary acceptance?

I don%26#039;t want perspective employers to dig into my report and lower my scores simply because they can with little or no interest in hiring.

And I doubt the company is going to consider hiring you if you%26#039;re unwilling to disclose your financial condition until they let you know they%26#039;re seriously considering you as a candidate or after you%26#039;re hired. Especially, if your potential job is handling money.
