If you have applied for a job, a house, or any opportunity that requires you to submit to a background check, chances are you could have had a Victig background check conducted. Victig background checks include a variety of information and help employers make informed or “smart” hiring decisions.
Sometimes when Victig and other background screening companies report their findings to employers, the result is not in a job applicant’s favor. Sometimes, the information is correct and other times, the information contains errors and can harm your chances of getting a job.
Federal laws protect job applicants by providing applicants with background check rights. One of those laws is the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). In this article, we examine how you can dispute and fix Victig background screening results (in accordance with the FCRA) when they are false.
