IntelliCorp Background Check Errors

If a IntelliCorp background check is standing between you and a job, an inaccurate report is not something you have to accept. IntelliCorp is a consumer reporting agency under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), so you can see what it reports and force it to correct mistakes. You can learn more on our Employment Background Checks page.

What is IntelliCorp?

IntelliCorp Records is an Ohio-based employment background-screening company (Brook Park, in the Cleveland area). It provides criminal-record and identity screening to employers and reports as a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.

How to contact IntelliCorp

You can request your report and file a dispute directly:

• Company: IntelliCorp Records, Brook Park, OH (Cleveland area)
• Website: intellicorp.net (consumer / applicant portal)
• Request: ask for a copy of your report and dispute errors through IntelliCorp

Confirm the current dispute address on your report before mailing anything, and keep copies of what you send.

Common IntelliCorp errors we see

• A criminal record matched to you because you share a name or date of birth
• Expunged, sealed, or dismissed cases still showing as open or as convictions
• The same case reported more than once
• A charge reported as a conviction, or a misdemeanor reported as a felony
• Records reported beyond the FCRA's limits (generally seven years for certain older items)
• Incorrect personal information — wrong name, address, or Social Security number

How a IntelliCorp error hurts you

A single inaccurate criminal entry can cost you a conditional job offer. The FCRA gives you the right to see the report and dispute it before you lose the job.

IntelliCorp's track record with regulators

IntelliCorp has a notable Fair Credit Reporting Act track record.

IntelliCorp agreed to a class-action settlement over allegations that it reported inaccurate or incomplete criminal-record information in background checks, and it appears on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's public list of consumer reporting companies. Sources: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and public class-action settlement records. If your IntelliCorp report is inaccurate, that history strongly supports demanding a correction.

Your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

IntelliCorp must follow the FCRA. It must use reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy (§1681e(b)); it must reinvestigate disputes (§1681i); public-record information reported for employment must be current and complete (§1681k); and before an employer rejects you, it must give you the report and a summary of rights (§1681b(b)(3) pre-adverse-action).

How to dispute a IntelliCorp background check

1. Ask the employer for the copy of the report and summary of rights they must provide.
2. Identify every inaccuracy and gather proof — court dispositions, expungement orders, ID.
3. Dispute in writing to IntelliCorp, enclosing copies and keeping a dated record.
4. Ask the employer to hold the decision while the dispute is investigated.
5. If it is not corrected, or the report already cost you the job, contact an FCRA attorney.

Frequently asked questions

How do I dispute an IntelliCorp background check?

Get the report from the employer or IntelliCorp, identify the errors, and dispute them in writing with documents. If it is not fixed, an FCRA attorney can help.

IntelliCorp already settled a class action — does that help me?

It shows a pattern, but your claim depends on your own report. If IntelliCorp reported inaccurate information about you and you were harmed, you may have a case.

Can I sue IntelliCorp for a background check error?

Possibly. If IntelliCorp reported inaccurate information or ignored the FCRA's adverse-action rules and you were harmed, you may have a claim.

Is the case review really free?

Yes. Wherever you are located, we can help, and you pay nothing unless we win.
