USIS - DAC SERVICES - Charged and Covicted only by USIS aka DAC Services for THEFT ! ! No convictions on my record ! ! ! Tulsa, Oklahoma
11/25/2008
I was terminated by the company I worked for and they would not tell me why for over a week.
12/04/2008
Once I found out they fired me for previous convictions of theft, I could not believe my own ears.
I was never charged with nor convicted of any charges of theft. I used the information on the DAC report to go to the County that showed to have reported this information.
This county shows no arrests, nor does it show any convictions for theft? I paid the County Clerk to give me Certified copies of these records. Also pulled my own report from the Texas Department of Public Safety for only $7.00, all this info will be forwarded.
12/08/2008
Took all the info and mailed it to USIS or DAC Services (Consumer Dispute Department) - Sent it by Certified mail # 7008 1830 0001 9997 6125. The return recipe was not signed but stamped: "A-MAIL LARRY BRAND", sent to USIS - Consumer Dispute Department, PO BOX 33181, TULSA, OK 74153.
12/22/2008
USIS wrote me to tell me the information was removed and or deleted from my record. Wow that's great... As I thought it was. I had about 15 applications I was done filling out. So now I sent them all out.
12/29/2008
One of the companies pulled my record and tells me they can not hire me because I lied on the application, i asked what about and they said I had been convicted of 3 theft charges? USIS just wrote to me and said it was off, deleted, removed?? What the hell is going on here!?!?
12/30/2008
I made a call to the USIS and the operator took my info and said a Consumer Reporting agent would call me back.
01/02/2009
The Agent called me back and asked what the problem was. I told her and then she went on to tell me it was removed and that the info was corrected. I then asked her if it was, could you run the report and tell me whats is on there then?
She agreed to this, 1 min later she says hummm...
I said what?
She tells me its still there..
Whats still there?
The theft charges..
Really!
So what went wrong, I am being denied employment because of your company and its mishandling of the information of the system. She told me she would try and call me back at a later date.
------
I only found out about these charges being on my record December 2008, but they have been on there since 2003 from what they had told me!!
(I guess this is why job hunting has been so hard!!)
Any lawyers want to do a Pro-Bono against this USIS / DAC services company? I have been un-employed because of these people since November 25th 2008.
I have been denied employment, and the company I was working for reported it to DAC as a Firing. They told me I lied to them about my record, this is a violation of company policy. This is what was put on my record, "Fired for Company Policy Reasons".

I Doubt That You Would Find An Attorney Willing To Take This On...

...without a little more legwork being done, but I do have some advice for you.
First thing first. USIS obviously knows they passed on some bad information. They also know EXACTLY who they released it to as well.
I would sit down, write a letter to USIS, and demand two things of them.
First, demand a corrected copy of your DAC Report, and a letter of apology from them for the mistake. Keep these for future applications you fill out, and send of both with every application you fill out for at least the next three years.
I would further demand of USIS to send out a special letter to EVERY prospective employer who made inquiry into your file and that this was reported to, INCLUDING the employer that terminated your employment, informing them of the error that was in your report, and that it was absolutely an ERROR (not retracted), as a good faith attempt by USIS to rectify this situation and to help you repair your reputation.
Of course, send it via certified mail, return receipt requested.
If they refuse this request, then I would inform them that you intend to file a formal complaint with the FTC for an egregious violations of the FCRA, and follow through with that complaint.
Make a record of every company that you applied to and were declined employment, and whether or not you were informed that this error was the SOLE reason you were denied employment. The more denials you have, the deeper the damages you may receive if you do go after them in court.
THEN I would at that point contact and consult an attorney who preferably practices civil and employment law, to go after USIS, as well as your former employer who terminated you without allowing you to defend yourself against the bad report, for anything and everything that can be taken from them.
I was amazed to read in your report that you actually received responses over the phone from USIS. They apparently are operating a bit more within the confines of the law than they once were.
Rattle their cage. You are the victim, and they d**n well need to know it.
