Candidate information for background check reports
To perform an employment background check report, we obtain information from public records. If you believe that the public record itself is incorrect, you will need to contact the public agency to seek a correction, since we cannot correct this for you.
If you believe that our background check report incorrectly states what the public records show or that our report incorrectly states anything other than a public record, you can have us re-investigate our report by filling out and returning our Dispute Resolution form below or by contacting our Consumer Relations Department by telephone at 1-800-648-6148. We do not make decisions for anyone based on our reports. For example, we do not make employers’ hiring decisions. If you believe that a report we provided to someone was correct, but disagree with the hiring decision being made based on it, you will need to contact the person who used the report to make this decision.
