Inaccurate Information On Background Check

Inaccurate Information On Background Check

Reporting inaccurate or outdated information on an employment or housing background check is a common screening error. This often occurs when a criminal case is updated by the court, but the background check agency fails to reflect the changes.

As a result, a closed case may still appear as pending, or if a charge was reduced, the report may incorrectly display the original charge and severity. Background check agencies are legally required to provide the most up-to-date court information to prospective employers. If they fail to update reported information, consumers have the right to sue for compensation.
