Dispute AmerUSA Tenant Screening Report
When inaccurate information is contained in your AmerUSA background check or credit reports, you have the right to dispute that information.
The two most common background check errors are:
- Mixed files – another person’s information shows up on your background report because of a similar name or address.
- Outdated information – information contained in a background check that should not be there due to how old the information is or due to the fact that the record had been updated. This could be things like a charge that was dropped, a record was expunged, an old bankruptcy.
It is important to dispute inaccurate information right away.
