Consumer Attorneys PLLC Helps Immigrant Mother Overcome Background Check Error And Protect Her

(MENAFN- Market Press Release) September 24, 2025 6:43 am - How a failed background check almost blocked a hardworking immigrant mother, and how Consumer Attorneys PLLC fought to restore her rights and livelihood.

Starting over in a new country comes with enough challenges, but having your livelihood jeopardized by an erroneous background check can turn hope into anxiety in an instant. Consumer Attorneys PLLC, a leading consumer protection law firm in New York, recently helped a client from Cuba whose background check error nearly prevented her from working and supporting her two children.

The client had relocated to the United States seeking a better future, only to find herself entangled in a web of inaccurate data. The background check company reported that her Social Security number could not be verified, a failed SSN trace that temporarily barred her from employment. She faced mounting stress, uncertainty, and the fear of failing her family at a critical time.

Associate Attorney Meir Rubinov took on the case with precision and dedication. After a thorough review of the client's background and credit records, the firm identified the errors, compiled supporting documentation, and demanded corrective action from the reporting agency. Leveraging the protections provided by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the firm successfully corrected the background check error, ensuring the client's identity was properly verified and her professional opportunities were fully restored.

“This case underscores the devastating impact that inaccurate background checks and reporting errors can have on hardworking individuals and families,” said Meir Rubinov.“No one should be penalized for errors they did not commit, especially when their family depends on them. Every client deserves a fair start, and every reporting agency is accountable under the law.”

The resolution not only restored the client's ability to work but also highlighted the broader implications of consumer protection violations, including:

1) Employment verification errors that can delay or deny job opportunities.
2) Mixed or inaccurate files that affect creditworthiness and professional reputation.
3) Failures in SSN verification and identity validation that can disproportionately impact immigrants and vulnerable populations.

Consumer Attorneys PLLC continues to represent individuals in cases involving credit reporting errors, background check disputes, identity verification mistakes, and other consumer protection violations. The firm's mission is to hold reporting agencies accountable, correct errors that put livelihoods at risk, and provide clients with the legal guidance and advocacy necessary to reclaim control over their personal and professional lives.
