Did Your Certiphi Screening Background Check Have Errors That Cost You A Job?
Unfortunately, mistakes on background checks happen often. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Certiphi must make sure that the information they provide is accurate and up-to-date.
Inaccurate information on a background check is generally due to a mixed file. This is the most common mistake. Your information is mixed with the information of another individual. This often happens due to similar or same names. Mixed files are more difficult to catch when background check companies use automated systems to grab criminal history.
Luckily, you have rights under the FCRA that allow you to dispute the errors and sue for damages.
