    Case filed

What happened

A proposed class action against Carco Group, Inc., a consumer reporting or background check company, apparently alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The plaintiff claims the company failed to ensure the accuracy of background reports and to properly handle public record information for employment purposes, including omissions about the final disposition of a criminal conviction. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
