In Denver’s growing economy and competitive housing market, a background check mistake can cost you a valuable opportunity. Whether you’re applying for a job, renting a home, or driving for a gig economy app, inaccurate background information can derail your future. If this has happened to you, you may have a legal claim under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
FCRA Attorneys helps Denver Colorado residents correct background check errors and recover compensation. We hold background screening companies, employers, and landlords accountable when they violate federal law.

Denied a Job or Housing in Denver Because of a Background Check Error?
The FCRA is a federal law that protects consumers from false, outdated, or misleading background reports. It regulates:
- Employment screenings
- Tenant screening reports
- Gig economy and contractor background checks
Under the FCRA, you have rights to:
- A copy of your background report
- Notification if the report is used to deny you
- Dispute incorrect information
- A 30-day investigation timeline
- File a lawsuit for compensation if your rights are violated
Background Check Errors Common in Denver
We often see mistakes in reports created by national companies like Checkr, First Advantage, HireRight, Sterling, and CoreLogic. Common errors include:
- Mixed Files – Another person’s criminal or eviction history appears on your record
- Old or Expunged Criminal Charges still reported
- Inaccurate Personal Information (wrong SSN, DOB, or name)
- False Driving History used to suspend gig workers
- Failure to Provide Adverse Action Notices
These issues frequently affect professionals, renters, students, and app-based workers throughout the Denver metro area.
