Employment Background Check Errors? Let Trusted Attorneys Fight For You
Denied a Job Due to Background Check Errors? Get Legal Help Now
Employers increasingly rely on third-party background screening companies—about 94% now use them for criminal history and employment verification. These checks are meant to protect employers and ensure workplace safety, but false or misleading reports can unfairly block qualified candidates from jobs.
Common Employment Background Check Errors
Inaccurate or Incomplete Reports
A key problem with background checks is incorrect or misleading data, such as:
- False claims about service operation or content availability.
- Guarantees that the service is error-free and uninterrupted.
- Wrong or outdated information affecting report accuracy.
- Assurances that services and communications are free of malware, viruses, or other harmful components.
Sometimes incidents appear multiple times, exaggerating criminal history. Employers may reject applicants based on these errors without explanation.

Case Example – “Falsely Labeled Unqualified”
Our client, a reliable Uber driver, was wrongly flagged during a background check as having a disqualified license—despite having a valid one. As a result, his account was suspended, cutting off his main income source and damaging his professional reputation. The error came from a background check company that failed to verify updated DMV records, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Our legal team filed a formal dispute and pursued legal action. We cleared his record, restored his job, and recovered damages for lost wages and emotional distress. This case highlights the serious impact of background check errors.
