Background Check Errors

Background checks can contain errors that can get you fired from your job, stop you from renting an apartment and cause tremendous personal embarrassment. The problem typically involves reporting public records that belong to someone else. The most common example of this is mismatched criminal records. Other types of records that are also commonly mismatched are civil judgments, tax liens, bankruptcies, eviction proceedings, sex offender status and the terrorist watchlist (OFAC List).
