What To Do? (Score 1)

As as already been said in dozens of postings, the company is not too blame--they must assume that the information they receive from the background-checking service is correct. Therefore, suing the company that hired her would serve no real purpose, and actually cause quite a bit of damage to her relationship with her new employer. That leaves the background-checking service to take the blame. But, I must ask myself, where did they get the information? The likelihood is that it had been mixed up somewhere along the line before it ever reached them. After all, the one thing the whirlwind digital information age has not found a cure for as yet is human error. What it comes down to is that someone mistyped data, then pressed the wrong key, and it was uploaded incorrectly to a database somewhere on (or off) the planet. About the only recourse I can come up with for her is that she hire a cyber-gumshoe (or analog, for that matter) to investigate the Security company and find out a) has this happened before? b) if so, how often? c) if this is the first time, who is/are their primary suppliers of information? and the most important question of all, d) are you a zillionaire who can afford the costs for the amount of time and effort it will take me to find this person? 'Nuff said.
