[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 20343, member: 84"] Thanks Mstang. I already got the info. Okay, here's the situation as best as I understand it. husband called the co that wanted to hire him this morning. Person at co said that they didn't believe the original report because the first names didn't match. They ordered another one. husband got copies of both, as did the co. (by the way they look exactly the same, and has less detail than what I got) Co still doesn't believe it because name doesn't match what is on husband's birth certificate. Co told husband to file a dispute and send it in and gave him the fax # so he could. Now another one can be ordered, supposedly checked and rechecked with vital statistics. Reason....corporate won't use another company or accept proof from outside source. Has to be thru background checker co. This co also does their payroll, by the way. So unless background checker co is honest and admits it is wrong........ Who knows? Even the co that wants to hire husband thinks this is unfair. (pretty bad huh?) But corporate refuses to consider using someone else's service til it is proven these guys made a mistake that caused an applicant not to be hired. (they're getting charged out the @ss for the background checks, but think they're getting a bargain) So co is holding the job for husband. Co said they never had anyone dispute the background check before. Co will send husband all info they get from husband, if husband doesn't mind sending all info he gets from the background checkers to them. Co is actually trying to still get husband hired. Person in HR told husband the background checker co wants the co to pay out an additional 1500.00 fee to get the vital statistic info. (which would prove it isn't husband) Hr person said she's been waiting for husband to call. He was supposed to have gotten his paperwork the same time they did. And his paperwork said for him to call the co. But we didn't get ours for an extra week. I guess now we have to hope that someone along the lines has some common sense along with the HR person. husband would have no reason to dispute something that they could "prove" to be true if it was. That the background checker co is honest enough to admit they were wrong. (I'm not holding my breath) [img]:grrr:[/img] [img]:grrr:[/img] Co is doing their best to help husband get this cleared up so they can get him hired. But what a freakin mess just because someone or their freaking program didn't click an extra button to get a bit more info than just a name. Oh, and this background checker used their own database. So what they probably did was what's known as a drunkard's walk type thing. Typed in the last name and waited to see if something popped up.
