Class action accuses HR-Revolution of inaccurate employee background reporting

Here is what the complaint alleges. On April 7, 2026, the applicant applied for a job at a North Carolina health and rehabilitation facility and, after a series of interviews, received an offer. According to the filing, the employer ordered her background report from HR-Revolution on April 10, 2026, and the company delivered it on April 14. That same day, the complaint says, she was told in front of her orientation class that she needed to leave the facility. 

When she tried to contest the decision, the complaint says she was told the report would only go back seven years, but that the report went back further than that. 

The filing claims the report was inaccurate and misleading. It alleges the report listed the same criminal charges more than once – repeating one case twice and another case twice – and presented a single matter that had been merged and resolved as two separate cases. The complaint says this “erroneously exaggerates” the applicant’s “limited criminal history.” 

The suit also alleges the report left out information a hiring employer would want. According to the filing, it failed to note that her probation had ended early and did not properly report that certain charges had been dismissed. 

On the notice side, the complaint alleges HR-Revolution did not tell the applicant, at the time it happened, that public-record information was being sent to the employer, which it says left her no chance to explain or correct the information before the offer was withdrawn.
