My employer ran a background check on me. What if there is incorrect info on my report?

If you see information on your report you feel is false or incorrect, under the FCRA you are entitled to open a dispute. If you wish to dispute information on a report, email [email protected] or call 1-800-942-1366. If you dispute by phone, email a copy of your government-issued photo ID to [email protected]. You must provide:

  • Your full name

  • A copy of a government issued photo id (such as a driver’s license)

  • A brief summary of the information you want to dispute.

Please note: Only an applicant can open a dispute on their own report. An employer cannot initiate this process on your behalf.
