Background Check Mistakes: Why They Happen?
Background check mistakes are surprisingly common and can have serious impacts on your life. One major cause of a background check error is mistaken identity. This often occurs when personal information such as names, dates of birth, or Social Security numbers are similar or incorrectly matched, causing your records to be mixed up with someone else’s. This mix-up can result in false criminal charges, wrong employment history, or inaccurate credit data appearing on your report.
Another key issue is that many background check companies do not independently verify the information they report with the official court records or other authoritative sources. Instead, they rely heavily on third-party databases, which may be outdated, incomplete, or incorrect. Without proper verification, background check errors can slip through and cause unfair denials of jobs, housing, or loans.
We are ready to file your background check lawsuit in Federal Court if:
You’ve lost income due to inaccurate or misleading information on your background check.
You are seeking compensation for the emotional and financial harm caused by errors in your background report.
Your dispute was unsuccessful, and you want accurate, fair reporting going forward.
You want to protect your rights and ensure your background reports are correct.
You want to hold background check companies accountable for violations of your rights under the law.
How It Works
Work with a background check attorney to correct the mistakes on your background reports.
Step 1
Obtain Your Background Report
To understand why you were denied a job or housing, you need to obtain and carefully review your background report to identify any errors.
Step 2
Schedule a Legal Review
Our team will analyze the information on your report and denial letter. We will contact the courts, police departments, and other government agencies to verify the errors on your report.
Step 3
File Your FCRA Lawsuit
Once we confirm the background check agency made a mistake, we will file an FCRA lawsuit to seek maximum compensation. We won’t close your case until the report is corrected and all parties are notified.
Background check agencies may purchase your information from multiple data vendors and from each other, leading to inaccurate data being spread across various reporting agencies. This can negatively impact your employment, housing, credit, and insurance opportunities. To ensure that all parties are notified of Checkr's mistake, consider taking legal action with an FCRA lawsuit.

You Should Know That
Dismissed or dropped criminal cases can only be reported for up to 7 years on commercial background checks. Expunged cases should not appear on your background check at all. Reporting these records is a violation of your consumer rights.
Reporting records or cases that do not belong to you on your employment or housing background check is a violation of your consumer rights under the FCRA. Agencies should not sell inaccurate information about you!
Even if the record on your report belongs to you, it must be reported with maximum accuracy. Reporting incorrect dispositions, dates, or charge degrees is a violation of your consumer rights.
