Consequences of Background Check Errors
When truck drivers get forced off the road through unjust and inaccurate background check errors, the consequences can be sweeping. Nearly every aspect of a truck driver’s life can be adversely impacted, including job denials, certification and licensing problems, reputational damage, financial and legal woes, and mental and emotional trauma. Let’s take a closer look:
1
Employment Opportunities
- Job Rejection: Employers may reject job applications outright if a background check reveals inaccuracies such as false criminal records or an incorrect license status.
- Loss of Employment: Current employers may terminate a truck driver's employment if they discover adverse information that they believe to be accurate but is actually inaccurate, misleading, or false.
2
Financial Impact
- Loss of Income: Employment rejections or terminations due to background check errors can lead to significant financial strain from loss of income. Financial strain can snowball into missed payments, credit denials, housing insecurity, and more.
- Salary Reduction: Inaccuracies in a background report can bump you down in salary levels compared to equivalent drivers with a clean report.
3
Professional Reputation
- Damage to Reputation: Errors can tarnish a driver's professional reputation, leading to mistrust and reduced chances of future employment.
- Industry Blacklisting: Persistent errors may result in a driver being effectively blacklisted within the industry, making it exceedingly difficult to secure new positions (even with different employers or in different locations).
4
Legal Impact
- Legal Costs: Even though the law requires background check companies to investigate and correct inaccurate reports, getting them to do the right thing frequently requires wracking up legal fees and other related costs, adding to the overall financial burden.

How to Dispute Errors With An Attorney
Disputing background check errors on your own is possible, but many consumers who opt to go this route find themselves trapped in an endless loop with background check companies that perform inadequate investigations of disputed facts and then falsely self-confirm that the errors are correct. Working with a skilled consumer protection lawyer is the best bet for making a legitimate recovery.
Contact us
With a skilled team of top-tier legal talent and over 75 years of combined practice experience, we have helped thousands of consumers find justice after data reporting errors threatened their livelihood and well-being. We’ll walk you through the documentation, evidence, and process for disputing errors..
File a dispute
Whether we draft a dispute letter for you or you do it yourself with our guidance, you will need to document and submit a list of the errors identified in your background check report. Note that submitting a dispute through an online dispute portal sometimes requires you to waive your right to file a lawsuit down the road. We recommend preserving all your rights by filing your dispute via certified mail. Request an investigation and error corrections, as required under the relevant law (the Fair Credit Reporting Act).
Wait for the investigation
By law, the background check company or any other consumer reporting agency involved has 30-45 days to investigate and respond to the disputed information.
Consider filing a lawsuit
If you receive notice, as so many consumers do, that the disputed information is simply confirmed as being accurate by the background check company and no corrections are made (or inadequate/incomplete corrections are made), you should consider pursuing legal action. Similarly, if you have sustained financial, reputational, or emotional harm as a result of the errors, you should consider legal action to seek compensation. Also, some errors are so egregious that simply reporting them in the first place is actionable under the law. We can help you understand the legal issues and get relief..
Get compensation
Under the FCRA, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm you suffered as a result of background check errors that block, damage, or infringe your truck driving career or cause other harm. Let’s talk!
