Please do come back...

Anyhow...question...

How do we find out if false information was put out on us??

I mean I've applied for many jobs over the years...How do I find out if and when false info was put out?

It must of been right?.......otherwise why would they have sent me this class action law suit stuff...

I contacted every attorney in the area (you want a local boy the judge knows) and I have got a good one from what my research dictates PM me for his info.

The amount is totally discretionary set by the trial judge and those that don't understand the judicial term "discretionary" that means what the judge says is final there is no appeal of that judge's opinion and decision.

I had a situation with "USIS" (formerly DAC; presently Hirerite) where they incorrectly reported me as having been ticketed; not once, but FOUR times for driving a commercial vehicle within 4 hours of consuming alcohol. I found out about it in early 2007 when I came home after working on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina for over a year. My discovery came after being turned down for several jobs and one employer clued me into why my application was denied.
I sent USIS a certified letter demanding they remove the information within 30 days and send me proof that was done. After 30 days I called them and they told me that they were "still waiting" on verification. I told them that the LAW allowed them 30 days and NO MORE to verify the reports and if they did not have it they MUST remove the false information and provide me proof within 24 hours or I would file a legal action against them.
The next morning, I got a "corrected" USIS report minus the false information.
The information was entered by a "company" called "Courts of Arizona" and I looked for two years and I couldn't find an attorney in Michigan OR Arizona to represent me.

The main thing this DAC kept reports on was when drivers would quit and abandon equipment.

That is just not true. DAC/USIS has always been governed by Fair Credit Reporting Act and trucking companies have ALWAYS been required to inform you if they got the information from DAC/USIS. It's just that there is really no Governmental way to enforce these laws and they must be enforced by the individual, but realistically; how much in "damages" would a driver sustain if he wasn't informed of the source of the information.
Any company that isn't honest enough to tell you where they got their information isn't worth working for IMHO.

As with your "credit records" you have the right to one FREE copy per year, or any time you suspect it might contain some FALSE information.
You can go to their web page for their phone numbers, they will tell you how to request your report
