Just got my first applicant through turbo tenant

I'm trying to rent out my first investment property and I decided to go with turbo tenant to advertise and screen my tenants because it sounded easy. I had heard that they also do rent collections but it turns out they no longer offer that which is disappointing.

I got my first applicant yesterday and I'm a bit disappointed. Turbo tenant recommends I accept this person based on their credit score which is just over 600 but looking at the credit report I have no idea how they have a credit score that high. In the past 2 years this person has over 30 over due bills and 23 collections reports some of which are paid off but most are not.

Also there are no personal references on the application and no contact information for past or current landlords. She put her own number for the contact of her current landlord and employer WTF.
