False criminal records on background check reports are far too common.

You should contact Sherman & Ticchio or another qualified consumer attorney if Equifax, TransUnion, and/ or Experian reported you "deceased" to any third party. Under the FCRA, you have the right to an accurate credit report.

https://www.newyorkcreditlawyers.com/the-fcra-are-punitive-damages-proper-in-all-mixed-file-cases

Punitive damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act are, in our view, appropriate in all mixed file cases. Why? Because mixed files are viewed by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion as a cost of doing business.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a fee-shifting statute, offers potent remedies to consumers who prevail at trial. Sherman & Ticchio PLLC won't charge you for a consultation or anything out of pocket to represent you.

Chase, American Express, Citibank, and others don't believe that you didn't charge a vacation to Las Vegas? Your bank doesn't believe that you did not buy a thousand-dollar television at BestBuy or on Amazon? What should you do when your credit card does not agree that you are a victim of fraud? The...

One company that stands out to us as a repeat offender is a background check company called Checkr. Checkr conducts background checks for Uber.

I stepped out of the elevator right around 8:30 on the morning of September 11, 2001. A few minutes later, I crossed the maze of cubicles that filled the interior of our floor and walked into the office of a colleague. His wife was very pregnant.

There is no definition of the phrase "reasonable investigation" in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. So the jury's answer to that dispositive question will largely depend on how well your attorney presents your case.

Procedures followed by credit bureaus like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are often less than what is reasonable to assure maximum possible accuracy. A common result of flawed procedures by the credit bureaus is what is known as a mixed file.
