Were You Harmed By False Information or Errors In Your One Source Background Check Company Report?
The decision to hire or promote an applicant or worker is based on several factors. Oftentimes, one component of a hiring or promotion decision is the information that surfaces as the result of a background check. Typically, the employer hires a third party – like One Source – to conduct a background check on its behalf. Depending on the outcome of the report, the hiring process may move full steam ahead or come to a screeching halt.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) outlines the checklist that the employer must follow when retaining a company like One Source to conduct a background check. The checklist seeks to protect your rights while also allowing the employer to obtain the information they need to make an informed decision. If an employer goes outside of the bounds of the FCRA, they can face consequences.
In the same vein, a background check company like One Source is also required to meet the standards outlined in the FCRA. If they fail to do so, then you have the right to sue them in federal court.

What are my Background Check Disclosure and Consent Rights?
An employer must adhere to both disclosure and consent provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. On the disclosure side of the equation, the employer must provide you with information that states their intention to conduct a background check. The law is explicit: they can’t bury the information in the middle of other paperwork. The disclosure must be separate and clear.
Your consent is also required. The employer can’t run a background check on you unless and until you give them written permission to do so.
The employer might ask a company like One Source to run one or a variety of types of background checks. One Source may, for example, check your prior employment and education, or it may dig into your history with the legal or criminal justice worlds. It’s important to know that the FCRA requires an employer to attest to a background check company that the employer has met the disclosure and consent provisions of the law. Only then does the background check company hand over their report.
Your Right to an Error-Free and Legally Compliant Report from One Source
An employer has many options when it comes to background checks. One option is an investigative report. If an employer were to ask One Source to produce an investigative report, the company would likely speak with your friends, coworkers and neighbors to get a sense of your character and reputation. More common is a credit report, which provides a wealth of information about previous names and addresses, to whom you owe money, how much money you owe, whether any accounts are in collection, and whether or not you make your payments on time. Sometimes, a company will request a comprehensive report that has all of the information they can find, which includes your litigation and criminal background, your immigration status, your driving record, and whether or not you’re listed on various watch lists, such as the terrorist watch list.
Thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, background checks have limits. For example, they generally cannot report information older than seven years old. The two notable exceptions are bankruptcies, which have a ten-year limit, and criminal convictions, which don’t have a time limit.
Under the law, a background check company must take steps to ensure the accuracy of its report. They can’t simply skim the surface.
Your Right to Dispute an Inaccurate Report from One Source Background Check Company
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to know about a background report that shows you in an unfavorable light – before an employer makes a decision about hiring or promoting you. This “pre-adverse action” notification must be sent to you in writing, along with a copy of your background check and your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
If you discover that the background check has inaccurate information, you have the right to file a dispute. If you file a dispute with One Source, they are required to investigate and correct any errors within 30 days.
Your Right to Sue One Source Background Check Company
Another of your rights under the FCRA is your right to take a background check company to court for errors or inappropriate information that causes you to be passed over for a job or promotion. FCRA cases are filed in federal court. If you sue and win, you can be awarded up to $1,000 in statutory damages, actual damages, punitive damages, and court costs and legal fees.
Actual Complaints
Lawsuits against background check companies can make a variety of allegations. For example, if the background check company threw together a report and included information that was outdated or inaccurate, that could be the basis of a lawsuit. They may have included expunged criminal convictions or mistook you for someone else. Similarly, if the background check company claimed that you didn’t actually attend the school listed on your resume, you disputed the report, and the company didn’t respond, that could be the basis for a lawsuit.
