What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
I have a common name. Think John Smith. But obviously not that. Anyway, I have a cousin with the exact same first middle and last name as my own. She gets in a lot of trouble. Most notably she has two DWIs. I am trying to be a teacher. I applied for and got a job at a school district, they hired me pending a background check. My background check has taken an abnormally long amount of time to get back, and obviously the place that hired me is getting nervous. The place that hired me told me I have 30 days to figure it out or I will be unemployed. I called the background check place, and it turns out that my name and my cousin's name are getting all confused in their background check. So, according to them, I have two DWIs on my record at this point. I told them I needed to get it cleared up within 30 days. They told me they have a lot of people in front of me and it will probably take longer than that. I ran my own record check and you can see the birthdays are different. What can I do to clear this up, this is going to be an ongoing problem with me in the future, and I do not want it to affect my teaching license. Is there any way to compel this background check place to get it done quicker? I am going to be without a job soon.
