Consumer Litigation Associates works with the National Consumer Law Center and their research last year reveals that, even after years of litigation, criminal background screening companies continue to generate reports that:

--Mismatch the subject of the report with another person (e.g., listing criminal records belonging to someone else, often harming consumers with common names in particular);

--Include sealed or expunged records (e.g., listing a conviction that was legally removed from the public record);

--Leave out important information about how the case was resolved (e.g., failing to report that charges were dismissed);

--Contain misleading information (e.g., listing a single charge multiple times);

and/or

--Misclassify the offense reported (e.g., reporting a misdemeanor as a felony).
