I'll try to keep this short. About a month ago I interviewed for a job I really wanted, interview went great and I was essentially told pending my drug screen and background check I had the job. So a few days after the interview I fill out all my background check information and set my appt for my drug screen. Drug test passed no problem now I'm just waiting for a call after my background check goes through. After I few days I contact them and they said they are still awaiting results, no problem I'll keep waiting. Week goes by, nothing, 2 weeks and so on up until today.
Today I receive a letter in the mail stating due to my background check I am not being offered the job. Included with my letter is a copy of my background check and whoa was it shocking. Keep in mind I have never been arrested, I even have my carry permit (which required an extensive check). According to this check I am a felon, I've been arrested multiple times in multiple states, spent 9 months in prison, assaulted a few people and broke into a lot of cars.
What the hell? Sure I have a common name but listed on each so called record was MY social security number! I am furious, a job I've been wanting and waiting on finally opens and I get screwed because of this!
Sorry for the long post but I had to rant. First thing in the morning I am calling both my interviewer and the company who ran my background check to see if I can't get this straightened out
