    Lightbulb What to Do if Your Name, Birth Date, and Social Don't Match Up

    My question involves Background Checks for ride sharing apps. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but I am applying for a job as a lyft driver and I was submitted to a background check after like two days the company Checkr contacted me (this is the background check company being used) to tell me that my name, my birthdate, and my social security number do not match up resulting in a suspension from lyft for 6 months, which I have no idea why since the discrepancy was in no way my fault. But basically I am just wondering what could be the cause for this mismatch. I have a hunch but that's why I am here. On my birth certificate my full legal name says Benjamin Espinoza Jr however, on my social security card they only put Benjamin Espinoza could this be the discrepancy that didn't allow the company to match any records to me?

    It would be helpful if you made a better effort to use standard English grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.

    What exactly does it mean that these things "do not match up"?

    We have no way of knowing because we have no information about your situation other than what's in your post.

    Could be. What happened when you explained all of this to the person who did the background check?

    All three SSN, DOB, and Name must match. The name should not have been a problem in your case. The reason for a mismatch can only be known if you know what they entered for those three entries.

    Where is the background company getting their information? Have you ever had any problem filing a tax return?

    It's possible; we would have no way of verifying if that is the reason for the 'mismatch'. Ask for a copy of the report and see what it actually says.
