Checkr Reports Expunged Criminal Case

When Checkr reports an expunged or sealed criminal case, it’s usually the result of outdated court databases, third-party data brokers, or matching errors. This is one of the most common and most serious background check mistakes.

Is It a Legal Violation for Checkr to Report Expunged Cases?

In most situations, reporting expunged or sealed criminal cases violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Background check companies must provide information that is:

• accurate,

• complete,

• up-to-date,

• verified.

Reporting an expunged or sealed case is often considered inaccurate or obsolete, which may entitle you to compensation.

What to Do If Checkr Reported an Expunged Case

You should take action immediately:

1. Request your full Checkr report (if you haven’t already)

2. File a formal dispute with Checkr

3. Demand written confirmation that the expunged case is removed

4. Keep copies of your expungement order, court documents, and all correspondence

If Checkr fails to correct the report, you may be able to sue for damages, including lost job opportunities.
