Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I was looking for a job and when doing the pre employment background check they do what is called a credit check but this also checks criminal history. I know they have a state, Drivers license, city and county check. When they do a county check it can go back up to 12 years they say. I did my crimes 20 years ago but it still shows up. Is there any statue that says they can only check by county up to so many years. I know the national one only goes up to 10 years. Is there a statue I can use to prevent them from going back so many years on the county one. I live in miami-dade county miami florida

Depending on the crime, perhaps you should consider having it removed from your record.
