Golightly v. Uber Technologies, Inc. and Checkr, Inc. is a landmark class action lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York on behalf of Uber drivers.
The complaint alleges that Uber and its background check partner Checkr violated the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), the Fair Chance Act, and both federal and state Fair Credit Reporting Acts (FCRA and NY FCRA).

The Berry v. LexisNexis FCRA lawsuit led to major reforms in how LexisNexis handles consumer data and background check disputes. Plaintiffs accused the company of selling false background reports through its Accurint system without FCRA compliance. The Fourth Circuit upheld a landmark settlement requiring LexisNexis to create a consumer dispute and correction process, separate regulated and nonregulated products, and improve accuracy in all data sales. This case set a national precedent for data broker accountability, proving that businesses using personal information must follow FCRA rules, prevent background check mistakes, and provide transparent LexisNexis dispute options to protect consumers from false reports.
