About the Investigation:

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers must follow strict rules when taking negative action against someone based on a background check. Let us help you determine if your rights provided by the FCRA were violated!

What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act?

The FCRA is a federal law that ensures background checks are accurate and that employees are treated fairly. This law applies to all background checks for employment purposes. If an employer uses a third-party service to conduct the background check, the FCRA requires that the information in the report be correct. If there’s an error that leads to a job denial, the law provides steps to dispute the incorrect information.

If an employer decides not to hire you because of something found in a background check, they must provide you with a copy of the report and notify you that the decision was based on it. You are entitled to review the report and dispute any incorrect information.

What if I Was Denied a Job Based on a Background Check?

Request a copy of the report from the employer if you didn’t receive one. Employers are required to provide this information under the FCRA.
