Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I was made aware of an allegation that allegedly occurred in XX/XX/XXXX. This  was the first I was made aware that Lexis-Nexis was communicating XXXX information that was egregious and false - from 11 years ago. A background check was completed and my employment was at risk given my position and scope of responsibilities. My field of endeavor has been how I have provided from myself for 30 years. The " incident report '' consistent of two paragraphs. There is insufficient information and no documentation provided to support this " blind '' report. In XX/XX/XXXX, when the report was filed, we were open for business and my name and phone number were provided on the application and I could have been contacted. I was never contacted nor given " my day in court '' - to defend myself. In my 30 year career, I have never participated in or perpetrated a fraud. I have asked for all the documentation that precipitated this report - and it has not been provided. I have requested that it be removed, because the requirements for file retention have long passed and I have no file to reference or present in my defense. ( This allegedly took place 11 years ago ). This has not happened. I have requested that alleged " fraud '' be removed, because the claim is wholly false, this has not happened. I have requested a list of all those that have been provided this report and this has not been provided. I had lengthy conversations with XXXX ( XXXX ) of Lexis Nexis and he last indicated he would pursue all of the above - and then I got an email closing the request with no recourse to reopen - and none of that which was requested was provided. I spoke with XXXX at Length ( XXXX with Lexis Nexis and he expressed ambivalence and never followed up on the items itemized above as requested by phone and in writing. He indicated that Lexis Nexis is not a CRS and not held to removing files after 10 years not are they required to vet with the accused ( Me ) any information. That " blind '' reporting is the right of subscribers. I was indignant and absolutely baffled that one can pay to " bully '' with false statements that can end careers. I had no idea that such a pay to disparage existed - without one 's day in court. I had written, called and made multiple efforts to resolve and the response is contact Lexis Nexis Legal in XXXX, GA - by mail. I am not an attorney, nor can I hire one to fight this giant. I have noted the 13 Million Dollar Class Action lawsuit to like situations. I am requesting your help and I hope over-sight for a system that allows anonymous/blind reports with making the accused aware, given the right of this constitution to face their accuser, not require the accuser to contact the defendant ( me ) - to vet the circumstance. Once a year all service providers and my employer will require a back ground check and I am expected to " resolve '' this finding. I need help with a fair, just and swift resolution to that which is not true, that which allegedly happened 11 years ago and to which I have just been made aware - and that my continued employment is predicated upon. I have no legal record - not even a speeding ticket. This really needs the power of the CFPB to develop minimal standards that align with our constitutional and legal rights. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX
