Background Check Errors
Background check errors can cost you a job, housing, or insurance approval. These mistakes may include outdated records, mixed files, or even criminal history that does not belong to you. We investigate the source of the error, dispute it with the background check company, and take legal action when necessary to protect your reputation and future opportunities.

Receive a copy of your background check report.
Dispute inaccurate or incomplete information.
Have verified errors corrected or removed promptly (generally within 30 days).
Be notified if background check information is used against you.
Seek compensation if a company willfully or negligently fails to correct errors.
Possible Damages
If a background check company or employer fails to correct errors, you may be entitled to:
Lost wages or income from missed job opportunities.
Costs of alternative housing or relocation.
Emotional distress and reputational harm.
Punitive damages for willful violations.
Attorney’s fees and legal costs.
