Mistaken Identity On Background Check
Mistaken Identity: When Someone Else’s Criminal Record Appears on Your Background Check
Mixing consumer data and wrongly attributing criminal records is a common error job seekers face during employment screening. Background reporting agencies lack direct access to court databases or official documents, forcing them to buy information online. This often leads to mixed records due to missing key identifiers like Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or even dates of birth.
If a background check agency fails to properly match information, it may report someone else’s criminal case under your name, causing law-abiding consumers to lose job opportunities.
As a consumer, you have the right to sue the background check agency for errors on your report and seek compensation for lost income and emotional distress. Contact us to find out more about your FCRA rights.
