HireRight Lawsuit: How the FCRA Legal Process Works
Understanding how HireRight background check errors occur and how the FCRA protects your rights.
The Sources of False Information on HireRight’s Reports
Unreliable third-party databases are a primary source of false information in HireRight background reports. By bypassing official records, HireRight background checks run the risk of including mixed records and incorrect details that can cost qualified candidates their jobs.
Common Mistakes in HireRight Background Checks
HireRight false information typically stems from four main errors: mixed identities (same-name matches), outdated data from third-party vendors, incomplete reporting of court outcomes, and the reporting of expunged or sealed cases.
How HireRight Errors Impact Employment Decisions
Inaccurate HireRight background checks can directly affect employment outcomes. Errors may delay hiring, block promotions, or cause employers to withdraw job offers without giving applicants a chance to correct the information.
HireRight Lawsuit: Correcting Bad Data Legally
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), consumers can sue HireRight for false reporting to force data removal and seek compensation for lost job opportunities. Since HireRight is required to cover legal fees and costs, consumers can pursue these cases with no out-of-pocket expenses.

You Should Know
Reporting criminal records or cases that do not belong to you on a HireRight background check is a violation of your consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. HireRight is not allowed to report or sell inaccurate information about you to employers or other third parties.
Dismissed or dropped criminal cases can only be reported for a limited period under federal law, and expunged records should not appear on HireRight background checks at all. Reporting these records may violate your consumer rights under the FCRA.
Even when a record on your HireRight background check belongs to you, it must be reported with maximum accuracy. Reporting incorrect charges, dispositions, dates, or case details is a violation of your consumer rights and can negatively impact your employment opportunities.
Knowing your rights is the first step in protecting yourself from inaccurate HireRight background checks.
