Were You Harmed By False Information or Errors In Your A.I.R. Pre-Employment Screening Services Report?
Whether you get hired or promoted often depends on the information learned from an employment background check. A background check can come in many shapes and sizes. It may be as simple as verifying your social security number. Or it may include a detailed report of your credit and criminal history, or even information gathered from interviews of your friends and neighbors about your character and reputation.
Whatever the scope of the background check, the FCRA sets strict standards for how employers and background check companies get consent for and conduct background checks, and what they can do with the information they find.
If a background check company like A.I.R. fails to meet those standards, the FCRA gives you rights.

What are my Background Check Disclosure and Consent Rights?
You have a right to know if an employer will use information from a background check against you and an employer cannot obtain background check information without your express written consent.
A background check company cannot hand over your information to an employer unless the employer certifies that: (1) it has “clearly and conspicuously” disclosed to you in a separate document that it may obtain a background check; (2) you have authorized it to get the background check; and (3) it will provide you with advance notice of any adverse action based in any part on the background check report, a copy of the report, and a summary of your rights under the FCRA.
Your Right to an Accurate and Legally-Compliant Report
A background check company must take reasonable steps to ensure its report is as accurate as possible.
The FCRA also puts limits on the negative information a background check report can include. A report cannot list civil suits, judgments, arrest records, paid tax liens, accounts in collection or most other negative information (except criminal convictions) after 7 years, or bankruptcies after 10 years. It also cannot list expunged convictions
Your Right to Dispute Dispositions and Discrepancies on an Unfair Report from A.I.R. Pre-Employment Screening Services
If you don’t get a job because of information in a background check report, you are entitled to a copy of the report. You also have the right to dispute the report if it has errors or includes information it shouldn’t.
If you dispute a report, the background check company must investigate and correct any errors within 30 days.
Your Right to Sue A.I.R. Pre-Employment Screening Services if your report includes mistakes, inaccurate or illegal info
If you lost out on a job or promotion because a background check report included inaccurate or illegal information, you may be able to sue in federal court. If you sue and win, you may be entitled to your actual damages or statutory damages up to $1,000, plus punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.
Actual Complaints
Hardworking people just like you who lost job opportunities due to an inaccurate or unfair AIR employment background check report have already sued the company for FCRA violations. Justia lists at least one federal civil lawsuits against A.I.R. Pre-Employment Screening Services that alleges violations of the FCRA due to improper employment screening reports.
On February 16, 2016, a consumer sued A.I.R. in the federal district court for the District of Maryland for violating the FCRA in connection with an employment background check and that he lost employment opportunities and suffered emotional distress, reputational harm and other damages. The complainant alleged that Tidewater Yacht Service Center, Inc. offered him a job subject to a background check. A.I.R. prepared the background check but failed to use reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum accuracy possible of the report as the FCRA requires. According to the complainant, A.I.R. falsely listed a felony conviction on the complainant’s report when, in fact, the complainant was not a convicted felon. As a result of the inaccurate background report, Tidewater refused to hire the complainant.
This case is similar to FCRA lawsuits filed against other background screening companies like A.I.R. Pre-Employment Screening Services. Many of those lawsuits allege that the background check companies did not take reasonable steps to verify criminal background information and, as a result, falsely listed felony convictions, including expunged, outdated, or incorrect information, or misidentified the subject of the report. Some complaints allege that background check reports contained inaccurate educational, work, driving, credit or other personal information that the background check company was not responsive or did not properly handle disputes about inaccurate information. Some complainants have filed their lawsuits as class action complaints, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated people
