What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
Hello everyone out there,
First I want to apologize for starting a new thread under some else's thread, I did not mean to hijack the thread
I need some advice. Last month (Jan 7, 09) I was removed from a contract because of my credit report submission and now I am in jeopardy of losing my job.
Background: I have been working on a federal contract for about one year and 11 months (my hire date was Feb. 2007) when I was hired, I was not required to submit the FCRA form. However, I filed for my DOD security clearance. On April 2008, I was notified that I was cleared for my DOD clearance (OH JOY!). I continued to work as a model worker on the contract, during the summer of 2008, I had some financial issues that caused me to lapse on my credit cards payment. On Sept. 2008, I signed with a debt management company to get my credit under control. The following month, I received notification I that I was not suitable to work on the contract and had file for my background check all over again, this time I had to submit the FCRA form. I was sure that everything was ok, I am with a debt management company, I am current with my payments, and I just had a hiccup during the summer. Well, on January 7, 2009 at 3:45 pm, my supervisor told me that I did not pass and I had to leave the building immediately with my belongings and was told to start look for employment elsewhere.
I have not been working since Jan 7 but considered “On the beach”. I do not know how long this will last and I am scared of being terminated. I have searched for jobs but nothing has landed me employment. Now, I found out that the company I am still employed with was contractually not obligated to submit FCRA for employees until Jan 2008, which was well after I started working on the contract.
My question, is this possible, can a gov’t agency change their mind and have their federal contactor go back and have established workers submit FCRA forms?
I hope you all understand what I wrote, I just need to make sense of all this… I need to move onWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
