We Fix False Background Checks
Consumer Attorneys: We Fix Your Background Check, You Get Paid!
Fix your background report and move forward without false records holding you back.
Get the fair compensation you deserve for lost opportunities, financial losses, and emotional distress.
You pay nothing. The background check agency that made the mistake will cover all legal costs.
Why Background Check Mistakes Happen?
By law, consumer reporting agencies are required to ensure that the information they provide to employers and landlords is accurate and properly verified. However, companies like Checkr, HireRight, and First Advantage often obtain data from internet databases and from each other without confirming its accuracy with official sources such as courts, police departments, or the DMV. A background check conducted without proper verification may include criminal records that belong to someone else, or reflect outdated information about an individual’s history.
Mistakes Justify a Lawsuit
We Represent Victims of False Background Checks!
You’ve been denied a job or lost income due to an error in your background check.
You’ve lost a housing opportunity due to errors in your tenant screening report.
You seek monetary compensation for the lost opportunities and the humiliation caused by the erroneous background check.
You want to hold the reporting agencies accountable for selling false information about you.
Why Background Check Dispute Process Fails?
The investigations into background check disputes are ineffective, regardless of the agency. Consumer reporting agencies rely on information they purchase from the internet. This means their dispute investigations are often ineffective, as the information is inaccurate at it's source. The same flawed system is used to generate the report and verify its accuracy, leaving consumers trapped in a continuous loop.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT
Reporting records or cases that do not belong to you on your employment or housing background check is a violation of your consumer rights under the FCRA. Agencies should not sell inaccurate information about you!
Dismissed or dropped criminal cases can only be reported for up to 7 years on commercial background checks. Expunged cases should not appear on your background check at all. Reporting these records is a violation of your consumer rights.
Even if the record on your report belongs to you, it must be reported with maximum accuracy. Reporting incorrect dispositions, dates, or charge degrees is a violation of your consumer rights and can impact your future opportunities.
Knowing your rights is the first step in protecting yourself from inaccurate background checks.
We Take Your Background Check Disputes to the Next Level!
You already know the consequences of false information in background reporting if you’re a victim of it. Erroneous information in a background report can destroy your reputation in a moment, but we are here to restore it!

All my rideshare accounts were blocked due to Checkr reporting someone else’s information as mine. The attorneys at Consumer Attorneys PLLC are exceptional in handling consumer protection cases. They were not only knowledgeable and professional but also very straightforward about the process and potential outcomes. The paralegal staff was courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the entire stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. Thanks to their hard work, we sued Checkr and secured monetary compensation for the damages caused. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of expert legal assistance!

Very awesome and helpful law firm! They truly came through for me during one of my lowest points, achieving great outcomes I didn’t think were possible. I was denied a job and felt completely stuck, but Consumer Attorneys PLLC stepped in and turned things around. They not only helped me clear up the issue but also secured compensation for the trouble I went through. I couldn’t have asked for better support and wouldn't trust anyone else but Consumer Attorneys. Highly recommend them!
