What is the name of your state? Texas
Nearly three years ago, my boyfriend was falsely accused, arrested and indicted for a felony sex crime. After he passed a polygraph test with flying colors, the state dismissed the case. We haven't been able to afford to hire a lawyer to get the arrest record expunged but plan to do so eventually.
Last weekend we applied for a new apartment lease and the background check erroneously showed a conviction for the sex crime case. We provided proof that the case had been dismissed but were still turned down for the lease and we're still trying to get specifics on why.
My question is - what can we do to correct the information coming up on these background checks? We have contact info for the specific company that this apartment complex uses, but I understand there are hundreds of companies providing background checks. Any info would be appreciated.
