Intellicorp Records Inc. and Insurance Information Exchange (IIX) have agreed to pay $18.6 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused the companies of violating the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If either of these companies provided your criminal background report to an employer, you could get a cash payment of up to $2,000 from the class action settlement.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Intellicorp background check settlement include all natural persons residing in the United States who were the subject of one or more consumer reports furnished to a third party by Intellicorp or IIX for employment purposes, which report(s) contained an Intellicorp Criminal SuperSearch result reflecting a record of criminal or traffic arrest or conviction or other criminal history between April 16, 2010 and Sept. 16, 2013.
Potential Award
$50-$2,000. Class Members who were the subject of a Criminal SuperSearch that contained a record of criminal or traffic arrest or conviction or other criminal history and who were not mailed a notification are eligible to receive a check for $50.
Class Members who believe their reports were inaccurate may submit a Claim Form to receive an additional payment of up to $2,000. The total amount depends on how many claims are submitted for the Intellicorp class action settlement.
Under the terms of the class action settlement, the defendants have also agreed to provide Class Members, on request with a report reflecting the criminal history information provided to employers and a copy of the information the defendants have in their files about the Class Member’s criminal history in addition to monetary compensation. They have also agreed to make substantial changes to their practices for furnishing criminal history information.

Roe, et al. v. Intellicorp Records Inc., et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-02288-JG, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.
Case Summary
The Intellicorp background check settlement resolves three separate class action lawsuits that accused the companies of furnishing criminal background reports to employers that included inaccurate information and/or failing to send required notices to individuals whose criminal history information was reported to an employer, in violation of the FCRA.
Intellicorp and IIX deny the allegations and contend they acted lawfully and in compliance with the FCRA at all times. However, the companies agreed to a class action settlement, which was preliminarily approved on Nov. 25, 2013.
Final Hearing

UPDATE: A federal judge granted final approval to the Intellicorp background check class action settlement on June 5, 2014. The first round of payments could be going out at the end of the summer/early fall and the second round in early 2015, according to some reports.

I had a criminal background check done by Americhek Inc and any of their licensed Agents so I’m wondering if I’m affected. Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

shall begin the distribution of the funds remaining in the Settlement Fund (after payments of

So after the final judgement, about a month and change is when they will be mailed :/
when do we get paid
The fairness hearing was May 23, we should be getting notified shortly. Although shortly in lawyer talk can mean a month or several. Sucks, I’m needing the money and got screwed by these b**tards. Good luck everyone
How can we find out how much money we will receive..
Yeah, Im pretty sure this has cost me a couple jobs. I do not know how to find a copy of my background check either.
I received this letter back in Dec and kind of threw it to the side. Until recent I read it and I knew it!!! I was up for a really good Job in 2010 then another in 2011 and they said I had charges I kept the copy of background checks the employer sent me because I got denied. I was mad and frutrated and didn’t know what to do or how bad things kept coming up I didn’t have money for a lawyer to see if I can get everything removed. I’m going to send in this for hell it’s hard enought trying to get a job let alone someone reporting inaccurate info.
Same. I read through all this website but can’t find where to get a copy of my background check. Where do I find it?
All you have to do is write to the address that was included in the paperwork you received and they will send you copies of everything they have in your file. I received everything they had in mine and there were pages of a report in a state that i have never visited. If you did’nt receive the letter about the suit, just go on the intellicorp website and they will instruct you about receiving your file.
I mailed the form to be included in this class action. However, I have a copy of my backround check that they provided my perspective employers and it is inaccurate. Intellicorp reported 7 criminal charges and I only had 2. I have been denied employment because of backround check and also have that documentation. Do I need to provide copies of this paper work for review?
