Incorrect information on credit report account terms

First Advantage Corporation Credit reporting department,

Incorrect information on credit report Account terms Florida

I applied for a job and was offered a position. Subsequent to that a credit report was requested. There were - items that were reported incorrectly. As a result of the incorrect items an adverse action was taken against me ie rescinding a job offer. These - items as reported were. 1. a bill of $260.00 reported by - for an account listed in -/-/-and held for two months. I returned the items apparently comcast lost them or incorrectly listed the items as not returned. 2. -. I have had an account with - for about 20 years. This past year I did not work for six months consequently - disconnected my service for two months service. I have tried to talk to - - without success. Once I work I will be able to pay them back but given the availability of streaming and low cost alternatives maybe not but I should not have a job offer rescinded.


months and stayed for two. It has been impossible to resolve this without hiring an lawyer in - Oregon which is across the country from where I live. 4. IRS. Like - other people I was impacted by the -. I listed the foreclosure judgement on my house as a loss. The IRS did not like that. They imposed a lien on my house. To have it removed I need to hire a lawyer who the IRS will talk to. They will not talk to me. I should not lose a job over this. Furthermore a lot of my effort in the past 5 years has been to keep my house. 5. Because of the above, i bought a car with a ridiculous interest rate. I was out of work for several months. - - did crazy reporting. It has been impossible to talk to anyone at - -. Debtors prison has been done away with. I have had a long slow climb out of debt. To have a job rescinded because of previous debt is ridiculous and beyond the scope or abilities of an Human Resources manager. I agree to have a background check but to use the results of a background as grounds to rescind a job offer is nuts. Credit reporting is mainly a tool wielded by bullies used to justify higher interest rates, and in this case lose a job. Telling the IRS in -/-/- that I had been out of work for 18 months was useless, as their prime focus is to pick on people who ca n't fight back. Its what they do. The have a lien on my house. I ca n't sell it without paying off the IRS. Mine is a story of what can happen when - hits the fan but I should not have a job offer rescinded because of previous debt. This is most unfair.
