I just read your post about what happened. That's fucked up, my condolenses to your plight.

Did you ask your lawyer about a possible class-action lawsuit? I'm sure they are other out there who are in the same situation,their lives ruined by this abuse of information. The only way I see it possible is if you gather enough people that perhaps has evidence, so these background check companies would have to be in compliance of business rules.
I tried to get hired by several employers, but I could get nobody to hire me, and Ive never had that problem before. I have a good work history, so I got a copy of my background check from USIS, I figured there must be some negative information on it, and I was right. I keep a letter that was sent from NCIC (National Crime Information Center) stating that I dont have anything on my record. I give a copy of this letter with my resume to potential employers, but it doesnt seem to help.
I like your idea of a class action lawsuit against these credit reporting companies. I just dont know how to go about getting enough people together to bring up a lawsuit against them.
I used to always try to do the right thing, and not get into any trouble, but I dont care anymore. I do what I need to, to survive. Anymore if I think I can get away with it, and it dont hurt anyone, I will do it. FUCK THE GODDAMN LEGAL SYSTEM!!!
