Credit reporting company's investigation Problem with statement of dispute Michigan

I was hired by - and two days after being hired, and doing work for -, was told I had to be sent home because I had apparently falsified something on my application. I was provided a copy of my consumer report from GIS, the company that runs the reports for potential employees, and discovered - issues : Another person 's name, " - - '' was under my SSN, and also my criminal history was being held against me as being falsified for not supplying any information ( their online application did not ask me to submit my criminal history, just to consent to a background check, and on my consumer report this is listed as " not provided / non-applicable '' ). I was told I had 5 days to dispute these findings, but was notified by - that I was already terminated based on these findings before any disputes were even reviewed. I faxed GIS a dispute form with a copy of proof of identity ( my Social security card ), and mentioned several times the application process never requested my criminal history ( all of which was disclosed at the interview anyway ). It has now been 5 days, and I have not heard back from them and I still do not have a clear answer from either GIS or - as to what was " falsified '' on my application, so my attempt to prove or disprove anything within the report is speculative at best. I have faxed, called, and emailed both companies at several levels, and still received no explanation for what they believe was falsified, and have been told multiple times that I am already terminated because of information found in my Consumer Report provided by GIS, despite the review process not even being completed yet. This is against my rights under the FCRA.
