Wrong Information on Your Credit Report? It Could Cost You a Job — We Can Help
When someone else’s information appears on your credit report, it can damage your reputation, lower your credit score, and even lead to job denials. These mixed identity errors are more common than you think and they can have serious consequences.
Our attorneys fight for individuals who’ve been harmed by these reporting mistakes. If you’ve lost a job or faced financial loss due to inaccurate credit data, you may be entitled to compensation.
Credit reports are often used by employers to assess candidates especially for roles requiring trust and financial responsibility. But about 94% of background checks rely on third-party data, and when that data includes information from someone with a similar name or Social Security number, it can lead to serious mistakes.
These mixed identity errors can unfairly ruin your credit reputation and cost you job opportunities. When this happens, you may be entitled to legal remedies and compensation.
Common Issues with Mixed Identity Errors on Credit Reports
Incorrect or Confused Information
A frequent problem with credit reports is the presence of inaccurate or mixed-up information due to identity confusion. Examples include:
- Information from another person’s credit history being mistakenly included.
- Errors regarding the accuracy, completeness, or current status of the reported data.
- Assumptions that credit reporting systems are always error-free or updated promptly.
- False expectations that credit reports and related communications are free from technical glitches or data corruption.
At times, debts or accounts belonging to someone else may appear multiple times on a single report, unfairly inflating the perceived risk. Such errors can lead lenders or other institutions to deny credit or services without proper explanation.

Case Example – “Wrongly Marked as Risky Due to Mixed Identity”
Our client had a solid history of responsible credit use when a routine credit report was pulled. However, the report, generated by person, incorrectly included negative information from someone else’s credit file, falsely suggesting serious credit problems that did not belong to our client.
Credit Reports and Mixed Identity Errors
Inaccurate or Incomplete Reporting
- Confusion about the identity of the consumer, leading to data from another person’s credit file being reported.
- Assumptions that the credit reporting system is always accurate and up-to-date.
- Beliefs that the credit reporting service and its communications are free from errors, technical issues, or corrupted data.
Sometimes, the same negative information may appear multiple times, making the credit risk seem worse than it truly is. These errors can cause lenders to unfairly deny credit or services without providing a clear explanation.

FAQ Questions
Mixed Identity Errors on Credit Reports

If your credit report contains accounts, debts, or personal information that don’t belong to you, or if you’ve been denied credit or services due to inaccuracies, you likely have a valid claim to correct these errors.
Many attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay only if you win your case. Others may offer flat fees or hourly rates. It’s important to discuss fees upfront to understand what applies in your situation.
A lawyer can help you navigate complex credit laws, negotiate with credit bureaus and lenders, and ensure your rights are protected. They increase the chances of successfully correcting your report and seeking compensation if applicable.
Compensation varies depending on the impact of the errors on your financial life. It can include damages for lost credit opportunities, emotional distress, and legal fees, but every case is unique.
Fees can vary widely. Some attorneys charge nothing upfront and take a percentage of any settlement, while others bill hourly. Always clarify fee structures before hiring.
Legal experts understand the specific laws protecting consumers, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and can aggressively pursue corrections and damages on your behalf, helping restore your credit and financial reputation faster.
