    Default What Can You Do About a False Background Check

    I applied for a job at ubereats and they used the company checkr to complete my background check. To my surprise my check came back with two felonies and two misdemeanors. I have never in my life been arrested!

    That's a shame. Do you have a legal question?

    And what state are you in?

    I think Ubereats is only in San Francisco right now.

    You need to request a copy of the background check if it was not provided and contact the company that did it to request they correct your record.

    It is possible you may be the victim of identity theft or a mismatch when they were conducting the check.

    Yeah, I'd contact Uber and make sure that they hvae the correct DOB and SSN as well. Keep rattling them via email. It took me a week to realize why they kept rejecting my car inspection information (they're automated system is kind of lame) until some human put eyes to it and told me the VIN on my scanned inspection ticket didn't match the one on the car (dealership screwed up).

    If they failed to provide the notice as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act which includes first a notice that they plan to take negative action which includes a letter saying that among other things and a copy of the report you likely have a case for a potentially valuable lawsuit against them.
