Background check help?
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right board, so if not sorry...I read further down about someone's husband getting denied due to background check but I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues like mine, or any ideas where to go with this.
I applied for a job, heard my application was thrown out(!!) and decided to apply again last week. I got a call back that they remembered my application and would have interviewed except that I had a felony on my background check. This was news to me as I've never been in trouble with law enforcement.
After some digging, I've been told I have a credit card abuse charge (felony) and a possession of marijuana (misdemeanor) except one charge is in my name and my social, and the other is in this other girls name with my social. From what it's looking like, the police department made a huge mistake rather than identity theft because her social is 1 number off from mine. This occurred 6 years ago one month after the other, and aside from this particular job I have no way of knowing what else I missed out on because of this.
I'm waiting on the courthouse of that particular county to call me tomorrow and let me know what their thoughts are on this, because I really don't know what leg I have to stand on considering it doesn't look like identity theft and I have no proof in my hands yet. Thoughts? Experience? 
Any help is appreciated!
Re: Background check help?
Is this for a federal background investigation. Is the marijuana charge yours? How do you know that the other girls social is one number off?
If this isn't for a federal position (contract or regular) you really can't do much except wait for the court house to contact you. I would definately make sure to follow up with them if you don't hear back. And if they don't return your calls, make an in personal attempt to clear this up. If that doesn't work, I'd hire a lawyer.
Because of the charges together is probably why your application got thrown out. People get nervous about any drug charges, but then add credit card abuse to them, and you've got a bigger problem.
Neither of the charges are mine. I've never done anything that would get me into trouble like that. I'm not sure what they went through as I paid for a background check through DPS and the FBI and nothing came up under my name. Most everyone I've spoken to said that their checks go through names and not social security numbers also.
When I applied the second time, that's when I was called and informed they would have gone ahead with an interview the first time if it hadn't been for the charges. I told the HR person that I shouldn't have had anything come up at all so they sent a second background check. When it came back with the same thing, that's when they called me, said that after further inspection the date of birth and license number are incorrect.
After a little more information from her I called the courthouse where the charges are from, and that's where it was confirmed that the social security number is one different from mine. The sheriff's office there also confirmed this after she tried to convince me someone didn't read the paper correctly and I told her two people in different counties told me the same thing.
Someone from the courthouse was supposed to contact me today, never did so I called and the woman I spoke with didn't help much and the only other person she could suggest talking to wasn't there. :
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.

d afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
