If a background screening company mixed me with someone else more than once, does that increase my legal claim?

Yes. Repeated mixed-file errors are a major red flag. Courts often see repeat mistakes as evidence that a company failed to fix known problems or never implemented reasonable procedures in the first place.

Multiple incidents can support claims of:

• Unreasonable accuracy procedures.
• Willful or reckless misconduct.
• Systemic failure to prevent identity mismatches.

Repeat errors often significantly increase potential damages under the FCRA.
