  I was a victim of this negligence. I was applying for a job when LN did a back ground check on me. LN records showed that I had a felony conviction, which was not true. LN told me that to get it corrected that I would have to send my drivers license and my social security card.

  As a result, the company that I had applied for a job told me I was unhireable. There was no conviction or felony . It took at least 1 month to 45 days to finally straighten it out. I was treated like a criminal by LN and they kept getting the facts wrong.

  As I said, the company would not accept any proof other than what LN reported. It was a terrible experience and caused a great deal of mental stress and anxiety . With the felony showing up on LN records, I was in limbo until I provided two forms of ID, as well as other documents. I was not hirable until LN got the felony removed, but they still did not clear everything they were supposed to.

  Meanwhile the job I was applying for was up for grabs as well as any other opportunities. Just imagine filling out a job application and stating that you are not a felon and then you get a call that there is a felony on your record. They took their sweet time getting it done. Meanwhile I was unemployed, and single father and almost no way of making a living and not knowing if it would ever be corrected.

  I received a package in the mail last week from the AG ( I believe) in Virginia and was informed that I was part of this class action lawsuit because between the dates I had dealt with this nightmare, there were others who had the same problem, so it looks like I am part of this class action lawsuit.

  This was an absolutely terrible experience and I hope no one has to go through this again.

  Any information would be appreciated if you are familiar with the case. I can be reached at 817-614-9076,

  Thanks!
