Checkr Lawsuit: Case Review
Checkr Inc. is a background check agency that conducts employment background checks for prospective employers. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumer reporting agencies like Checkr are obligated to ensure the highest level of accuracy in the information they provide to employers in background reports.
Over the years, Checkr has repeatedly provided inaccurate background reports, often including outdated information or misattributing data (mixing consumer information). As a result of the background check errors, multiple Checkr lawsuits are filed annually by consumers who are denied job opportunities due to false reporting.
-
Most FCRA cases against Checkr are filed under 15 U.S.C. § 1681e(b) and 15 U.S.C. § 1681i, both of which pertain to inaccurate reporting on the employment background checks.
Consumers can take legal action under 15 U.S.C. § 1681e(b) if Checkr includes incorrect information in their background reports, such as criminal records belonging to someone else, sealed or expunged records, or outdated criminal history.
-
Checkr is legally required not only to provide accurate background reports but also to investigate any discrepancies when a consumer files a dispute.
Failing to address these disputes violates consumer rights under the FCRA. If Checkr does not investigate a dispute and continues reporting inaccurate information, consumers have the right to file a claim under 15 U.S.C. § 1681i.
-
Consumers face significant challenges when trying to contact Checkr directly to dispute errors on their reports. Many report difficulties reaching Checkr's Candidate Support, with live representatives being nearly impossible to reach.
While poor candidate support is not a direct violation of the FCRA, poor support may prevent consumers from disputing inaccuracies effectively.
