Company: Checkr, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX driver. 

Checkr prepared wrong background check report! 

I emailed them more than 20 times but they didn't correct it.

They wrote in the report I was guilty of " UNLICENSED DRIVING. '' However, in the court, I was found NOT GUILTY! ( I attached certificate of disposition, court decision document ).

Because of this wrong information, Checkr labeled my report " CONSIDER ''. 

In XXXX and Checkr language, consider means " NOT CLEAR '' Because of this wrong information, they labeled my report " CONSIDER '' ( NOT CLEAR ), and after that, XXXX deactivated my account!!! 

I emailed Checkr more than 20 times but they didn't change the " consider '' label although I sent them the certificate of disposition!!!

I was found NOT GUILTY FOR " unlicensed driving '' and I WANT CHECKR TO REMOVE THIS " CONSIDER '' ( consider means not clear, not pass ) LABEL!!!

I CAN NOT WORK FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKE.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied for credit. It was brought to my attention by XXXX and XXXX that there was a freeze on my Experian credit report. I called Experian and learned someone placed a freeze on my report on XX/XX/2021. I never requested a freeze with Experian. I never gave anyone permission to add a freeze. I had no knowledge there was a freeze on my consumer file. I believe Experian placed a freeze on my credit report without my knowledge and without my consent. This is egregious of Experian. I have since removed the freeze. All telephone calls are recorded and there will NOT be any recorded phone calls of me requesting a freeze. Also, there will be no letters including accompanying personally identifiable information ( photocopy of ID, social security card, utility bill, etc ) requesting a freeze. I demand to know why Experian unlawfully placed a freeze on my report without my knowledge or permission.
