DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
A Single Error on Your Checkr Report Can Take Away Your Livelihood
Checkr runs background checks for hundreds of companies — including Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Amazon Flex, and traditional employers. When their automated systems make a mistake, you pay the price.
Your Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash account was deactivated after a Checkr background check — even though you did nothing wrong
A job offer was rescinded or you were passed over for employment because of inaccurate information on your Checkr report
A criminal charge that was dismissed, expunged, or never yours is still showing up as a conviction on your report
Someone else's criminal record is appearing on your background check because of a name match, birthdate error, or mixed file
Checkr listed a misdemeanor as a felony, or showed a pending charge as a conviction — and you were denied based on that error
You disputed the error directly with Checkr — and they came back with "verified" without actually fixing anything
The Process
Three Steps to Challenging Your Checkr Report
We handle everything. You focus on getting back to work.
We Review Your Checkr Report
Share your Checkr background check report with us (or we’ll help you request it). Our team reviews every entry for inaccurate records, misclassified offenses, mixed files, expunged charges, and other FCRA violations that may have cost you work or income.
We Can Assist With a Formal Dispute
If your case calls for it, our attorneys can help prepare and submit a formal dispute to Checkr on your behalf. Under the FCRA, Checkr has 30 days to conduct a genuine investigation. We build a thorough, documented case — not a generic form letter — and preserve the full record in case further legal action becomes necessary.
If the Errors Aren't Fixed, You May Be Owed Compensation
If Checkr fails to properly investigate or refuses to fix a legitimate error, you may have grounds for a federal lawsuit. We can pursue monetary damages for your lost wages, lost opportunities, and other harm caused by their violation. You owe us nothing directly either way.
What Checkr Is Required to Do — and Often Doesn't
Checkr's FCRA Obligations
The Fair Credit Reporting Act places strict requirements on background check companies. When Checkr violates these rules, you have the right to sue.
Accuracy Requirements
Checkr must follow "reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy." Automated systems that produce mixed files, outdated records, or misclassified offenses violate this standard.
Dispute Investigation
When you dispute an error, Checkr has 30 days to conduct a genuine investigation — not just confirm the original data. Rubber-stamping inaccurate records as "verified" is an FCRA violation.
Adverse Action Notices
Before any employer or platform takes adverse action against you based on a Checkr report, they must provide you with a pre-adverse action notice and a copy of the report. Skipping this step is a separate FCRA violation.
Reportable Information Limits
Checkr cannot report arrests without conviction, expunged records, or certain old records. Including non-reportable information on your background check is itself a federal violation.
Know Your Rights
The Law Is on Your Side — Most People Just Don't Know It
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that governs how background check companies like Checkr must collect, report, and investigate consumer information. When Checkr violates the FCRA — whether by reporting inaccurate records, failing to properly investigate a dispute, or including non-reportable information — they can be held legally liable.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Real People. Real Results.
"I went to Mr. Kim for help about two years ago and he immediately agreed to assist me with my credit report and creditors. He went to work and his legal assistant is amazing and very responsive. They showed that they cared, and in the end I was rewarded for all my issues — my credit score is now 741 thanks to Mr. Kim and his paralegal Anna. I will be forever grateful and will 100% recommend them to anyone with any credit or creditor problems."
"I was frustrated by the mistreatment of a creditor that damaged my credit. I filed a dispute with the credit agencies hoping it would resolve my issue — their process is a joke; it's as if they just work for the creditors. That's when I decided to hire The Kim Law Firm. Mr. Kim did an excellent job fighting for my rights, clearing up my credit, and getting compensation for my aggravation. If you need help, this is the firm you want representing you."
"I am extremely satisfied with my experience with The Kim Law Firm. Mr. Kim was very sympathetic to my concerns and understood my frustrations. He was confident he could help me from the very beginning, and in the end he did just that and more. My experience could not have been better. I sincerely thank you all for advocating on my behalf and seeing me when other entities did not."
