You may be eligible to file an FCRA lawsuit and seek compensation.
Have you applied for a job in the past two years and were rejected after an employer ran a background check?
Or were you offered a position, only to have the offer revoked or be fired because of your background report? If so, you may be entitled to take legal action and recover compensation. Fill out the form to see if you qualify to pursue an FCRA lawsuit.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers must follow specific rules before denying employment, revoking a job offer or terminating an employee based on the results of an employment background check.
This includes providing the required disclosures and allowing individuals time to review the report before a final decision is made.
When companies fail to follow these regulations, they may be violating federal law.
If you believe an employer mishandled the background check process, we want to hear your story. Top Class Actions is partnering with an experienced law firm to pursue legal action against companies that may have violated the FCRA.

Your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a federal law that protects job applicants and sets strict procedures employers must follow before conducting a background check and when responding to a report.
Under the FCRA, employers must:
- Provide a clear and standalone disclosure that an employment background check may be conducted
- Obtain your written authorization before running a background check
- Give you a copy of the background report and a summary of your rights before taking adverse action
- Provide written notice if they decide to deny employment, revoke a job offer, reassign you or terminate your employment based on the report
Even if the information in your background report is accurate, employers are still required to follow these steps.
When a company fails to comply with these legal requirements, it may violate federal law. Individuals affected by FCRA violations may have the right to pursue compensation for lost income and other damages.

If you applied for a job within the past two years and were denied the job because of a background check — or if a job offer was revoked or you were terminated based on a background report — you may have legal rights under the FCRA.
Even when the employment background check is accurate, employers must follow specific procedures before taking adverse action. When those requirements are not met, individuals may have grounds to pursue an FCRA lawsuit and seek compensation for lost income and other damages.
