Checkr Lawsuit: Failure to Follow FCRA Compliance
Checkr 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Over the years, Checkr has repeatedly provided inaccurate background reports, often including outdated information or misattributing data (mixing consumer's information). As a result, multiple Checkr Lawsuits are filed annually by consumers denied job opportunities due to these errors.
-
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in their background reports, such as criminal records belonging to someone else, sealed or expunged records, or outdated criminal history.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 Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If Checkr does not investigate a dispute and continues reporting inaccurate information despite being notified, 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, it can contribute to violations. Poor support may prevent consumers from disputing inaccuracies effectively, leading to unresolved errors that violate their rights under the FCRA.

Victims of False Checkr Background Checks
Uber Drivers
Platforms like Uber and Lyft conduct these checks automatically and may deactivate drivers without giving them the opportunity to address any inaccuracies in the report. Under the FCRA, any driver deactivated due to an inaccurate background check has the right to dispute the report and seek compensation.
Delivery Workers
Checkr provides background reports to employers such as DoorDash. Many other delivery apps also rely on Checkr for background reports. Many workers in logistics and customer service have lost their jobs due to Checkr’s errors, and each is eligible for compensation.
Consumers with Criminal Past
Checkr’s database frequently fails to update properly, often misreporting dismissed or closed cases as pending or including sealed criminal records - both of which are violations of the FCRA. Past records must be reported accurately - if not, you have the right to sue Checkr.
