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.
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.

Was surprised when I got the mail. I got a $50 check from US Bank today..I also did not receive any paperwork to fill out to file a claim but I’m not going to worry about it. Just glad to have an extra $50 in my account. So do we need to pay to get our credit reports, review them, then make appeals if there is wrong stuff on them or……? This is all just plain stupid.
Don’t know myself lol
I received a check 8/18/2014 but I nevet filed a claim do this is not a fraud right somebody please tell me.
I received a $50 check Aug 18, 2014. I never received a notice package to even file a claim. Would I still get a settlement?
my understanding is the only ones who will get the second payout are those who received forms in the mail to fill out and send back…
I received a check for $50. I’ve worked for the same employer for the last 14 years. Don’t know who would be doing a background check on me to provide my employer.
I received a check today for $50. I requested my background check, and it seems the deadline(April, 21st) to file for $2000 has passed. If the information is incorrect, how do I claim make my claim? I had no idea about this.
Just received my 50 dollar check I filed a claim to so hopefully ill get the big check later on as there paper stated.
received a check today for 50 but just know finding out about intellicorp
I just received a check today and had no clue what it was. $50 was the amount and when I called to make sure this was correct and indeed it was I was told that around 2015 that around 2k would be mailed out also. I never received any information regarding the same but after doing research online I’m gonna request my BG check and make sure it’s ok. Then I’m gonna file a claim for the remainder of the funds due out. Hope it’s not a flake!
I also received my $50.00 check today. It also states that if you submitted the appropriate documents, then the additional funds would be mailed separately at a later date.
