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.

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.

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.

Ok, there were 525,089 class members. the settlement amount is $18,600,000.00 If you do the math, 18,600,000 divided by 525,089 is about $34 dollars per person. I found out after the attorney fees, and other fees, everyone will get a check for about $3.71. Yep this is an outrage. $3.71 is what you will get. Intellicorp screwed us over not once but now twice. Honestly, I am speechless because they way they worded everything like, the mailer will get you up to $2,000 and the smaller amount of $50 was worth not haviung me independently sue. But I will be going after them for false information and having me get “dooped) into including myself in the fund by deception. Is anyone ready to not play games with these people and walk away with at least $2,000 not $3.71??? email me at sunlover88@yahoo.com to file a wronful/fraud countersuit. I am done playing games with these idiots

Jukeboxjane,
I think you’re stupid for lying and saying you received a payment from intellicorp. I think you’re also pathetic for lying and maybe you should spend your time online researching support groups for pathetic lonely liars like your skanky self. Seriously.
hi,
how did you file claim as I was never made aware of claim form?
Checks were not sent out yet genius… When you lie…that makes you the piece a sh…
imagine if you put as much effort into finding a job and making money instead of refreshing this page and calling the law offices.
