No one should have their future derailed by automated errors in a background check. Yet, that's exactly what happens when background check companies report outdated, inaccurate, or misattributed information. A single mistake, like a mixed-up criminal record or a falsely listed debt, can lead to job losses, loan denials, or housing rejections.

Including someone else’s criminal records on your employment or housing background check is a violation of your consumer rights. By law, background check agencies are required to use all available identifiers to verify the information and prevent identity mix-ups.

Dismissed case on background check

Even if a criminal record on your background report is yours, it must be reported with maximum accuracy. Details such as dates, dispositions, charge names, and offense levels must match the official court records. Any errors in reporting this information may be a violation of the FCRA.

Including sealed or expunged criminal records in commercial background checks is a violation of the FCRA. Additionally, dismissed or dropped cases can only remain on background reports for up to 7 years, while conviction records may be reported indefinitely under federal law.
