can I sue if a consumer report reports an expunged record to an employer that keeps me from getting a job?

Only if it is not true, or the credit company was served with papers to remove it.  How so you know record was expunged?

Not having a record, I can only guess. If I did have a record, I would try to get rid of it. Having to explain something I did once every single tine I applied for a job would be embarrassing. Its nice to not have a record that needs expunging.

It is against the law for a former employer to tell a prospective employer ANY false information.  Most of the time, they are only allowed to confirm your title, pay rate, and if you quit or got fired.\n\nSo relax, find another job, then leave yours without worry.

YEP!!! And know this If you have worked on a job for 1 year or more And have gotten fired, And you seek employment else where I would not tell them that you where fired UNLESS you broke the Law and where convicted, JUST say you wanted more money, was bored with that particular job, Relocated. ECT... If you work on a Job 1year and less Do not even mention this job Because most Employers Look for WORK HISTORY, They care about How long you've been on a job. And If they want to call your employer give them a phone # of a close friend like cell # and tell them to talk professional. HEY YOU GO TA MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU and in the future whenever you work on a job for more than 2 years and you've done your best Be sure to ask a manager for a JOB Ref. they should do this it is a TYPED Letter and Keep that with you, IT HELPS IN GETTING HIRED ON FUTURE JOBS. Take Care.

Absolutely not. Your medical records are private. You can press charges against your employer in a court of law.

I haven't had to do it, but I have known of others, and it can be very educational if not re-assuring that your past is now in the past.  \n\nIt doesn't cost much financially nor personally. Seeing that you no longer work there, what can it hurt?\n\nIt also can lead to an opportunity to set the record straight.  With a less than professional past employer (and if it is legal in your State (USA) like it is in Minnesota), taping a phone conversation without notification of the other party like it is in Minnesota.  A tape of bad-mouthing ex-boss can make a lawyer salivate.  A good or at least basic reference can let your paranoia rest and move-on to new unfounded fears!\n\nGood Luck!

It depends on how much hassle you want to go through. If you are worried about future job references,legally all an employer can say is when you worked and what your wage was. It doesn't matter what is written down. I'm not sure if you can file a grievance as an ex-employee but your work should have some system to deal with termination disputes. You have to decide what you hope to get out of your grievance and whether it would be worth your time.

An expunged felony will not be on the public record that any employer can see if doing a work related background check.\n\nIt will remain in the national data base and can be viewed by police officers and anyone doing a national security clearnace on you.\n\nThe report that they can see will even show every arrest even if not indicted or convicted.

Why do you think that?   The only way to know for sure is to ask the employer that didn't hire you, if he called the old employer for a reference and got a bad one.  If that's the case then you will have to leave that employer off your resume'.  That will also cause a problem because the new employer will want to know where you worked before.  Sorry  it's a bad situation.\n\nCappy,  you CANNOT file suit just because a former employer gives you a bad reference.  Maybe you were a bad employee.

Hire a lawyer.\n\nIf your only issue is having your record expunged, you might contact the court that has jurisdiction and talk to the court clerk or district attorney's clerk.\n\nThey cannot give you legal advice, but they may help point you in the right direction.\n\nA petition is little more than a letter to the court making a request. But it must meet the requirements set by statute & the court regarding content.\n\nYou really should talk to a lawyer before you proceed since rules vary not only by state, but by court.

I have done research on this and the two questions that are allowable by law are:\n\n1) Verify dates of employment\n\n2) Is this individual eligible to be rehired? \n\nHowever, there are many ways to get the information needed. Everyone knows someone who knows someone, and it goes on and on. If you fudge on numbers on your resume', job history, or on an application, it can be verified and then you are seen as a risk due to being dishonest. It's always best to answer honestly!

It's possible, but unlikely.\n\nAnything you did for less than 3 months you should ignore unless it has direct (positive) application to your future position.\n\nAssuming you weren't fired for for a criminal act for which you were charged.\n\nIt is perfectly acceptable to say "that job wasn't for me" and let it go at that.\n\nMost employers understand and many have been there themselves. But, it's up to you. Don't tell blatant lies, but don't offer anything negative unless you are asked.\n\nGenerally, anything you do for 3 months or less is considered irrelevant unless it directly relates to the position you are applying for, or involves criminal misconduct.

Go to the judge that sentenced you and ask for your record to be expunged.

I can't answer as to the legality of your situation because I don't know what state you live/work in. But in general, this would not be legal unless there were extenuating circumstances. If you are required to clock in/out and have those records available to you, and you can prove your case, I'd file a complaint with the Labor Relations Board in your state, if you have one (which I'm sure you would). In the end, though, you might lose your job, but then you'll have a valid reason for unemployment benefits. If it turns out to be a discrimination case, you might be able to sue and not have to work again... (well, I'm not really being serious about that one).

All the employer needs to do is call the reference to verify the validity of said reference.\n\nI am a manager, and I have fired two employees AFTER THEY WERE HIRED, because I found out they lied on their applications. One lied about her references (it took me a while, but I did find out they were all fabricated), and one lied about his education (I did not receive transcripts like he promised).\n\nDo not lie, because you will get caught (sooner or later) !!!

It's absolutely illegal in every state to have a falsified court document. If it's not your fault, contact the workers supervisor and asked to have it straightened out. You don't want it coming back to haunt you.
