4. Comprehensive Reporting: The results of CoreLogic criminal background checks are comprehensive, giving not only the existence of records but also the nature of the offense, the date, and the legal outcome.

CoreLogic Background Check Lawsuit Step by Step

The step-by-step process for filing a lawsuit against CoreLogic due to FCRA violations or breaches of state laws should go like this:

Step 1: Clarify the Violation

Identify the specific accuracy or FCRA violations found on the report of the background check. This can be dated information, misidentification, or failure to correct errors even after a dispute.
Prepare Evidence: Gather all evidence, including the background check report, communications regarding your dispute of inaccuracies, and all the communications you may have had with CoreLogic.

Step 2: Legal Representation

The best person to talk to would be a lawyer who specializes either in consumer rights or FCRA litigation. Legal background is essential to minimize the complexity and understanding of the laws, especially in the case.
Your attorney would want to look through all your evidence, determine the strength of your case, and inform you of legal options.

Step 3: Resolution of Dispute

Before filing your lawsuit, you will first be required to formally dispute the inaccuracies in the report from CoreLogic with the prospect of correction of the error as mandated by the FCRA.
CoreLogic has 30 days to investigate and make a response to your dispute. Response could either make you rethink your decision to file for a lawsuit or proceed.

Step 4: Pre-Litigation Actions

If the dispute is not resolved satisfactorily, your attorney may send a demand letter to CoreLogic. This letter typically outlines the violation, demands rectification, and warns of impending legal actions if the demands are not met.
Often, companies choose to settle at this stage to avoid the costs and publicity associated with a lawsuit.

Step 5: File the Lawsuit

Prepare Legal Documents: If the issue remains unresolved, your attorney will prepare a legal complaint outlining your case against CoreLogic.
File Complaint: The complaint is filed in the appropriate court. CoreLogic is then served with the lawsuit, officially starting the litigation process.

Step 6: Litigation Process

Both parties exchange information relevant to the case. This phase may include depositions, requests for documents, and interrogatories.
Either party can file motions to resolve or narrow down the issues before trial. For example, CoreLogic might file a motion to dismiss the case.
Trial: If the case is not dismissed or settled, it proceeds to trial where both sides present their arguments, and a judge or jury makes a decision.

Step 7: Post-Trial

If you win the case, the court may award statutory damages, actual damages for any harm suffered, and possibly attorneys’ fees.
Appeal Process: Either party can appeal the court’s decision, extending the litigation process.

Step 8: Enforcement

Winning in court is only part of the challenge; enforcing the judgment to collect awarded damages may require additional steps.
