<prompt> Human: So theres a guy in Pennsylvania who was born on the same day as me with my name. I originally found out about it after being denied a job because of criminal activity that was resolved after I disputed it with the third party company that did the background check. Within a few hours I had gotten ahold of the court that booked him and got supporting documentation to prove his middle name and SSN were different. They fixed it after a delay and I got the job.Fast forward to now, and Im applying for an apartment. I was denied for the same reasons. The guy has since run up quite the arrest report collection. I told the leasing company and they reran my report using more information and it didnt help, I kept getting pinged for them. Then I disputed it with the company CoreLogic and after 24 days they gave me my results. They deleted about HALF of the 10 or so reports on my record. All of the reports are from the same county though. But because of the results not completely being removed from my report, I am being denied the apartment. If I can prove it wasnt me, but the courts wont go as far as to verify it, what are my options? Do I threaten to sue CoreLogic for operating in bad faith? The courts wont deal with me directly, nor will CoreLogic do anything for me but say file a dispute and if the courts verify it wasnt you well take it off your report. I have less than a month to find a new apartment and all of this is really making me worried that Im about to be living in a hotel..tl;dr some guy didnt steal my identity per se, but hes still impacting my ability to pass background checks because the courts dont verify anything beyond first name, last name, and DOBedit 1: okay.. so, Ive gotten a lot of great responses about where to go from here. Im on the road for work currently, so I have to get to sleep, but tomorrow morning Im going to wake up and listen to a few hours of hold music. Ill give an update after I talk to CoreLogic, my attorneys, and the leasing agency. Best case scenario, they say, oh my god, we were so wrong! Well fix it and send you a fruit basket for your trouble. The realistic response will probably be more along the lines of, We cant change it until the record is changed and we have 30 days to change it if that comes to be.. as thats what I got before. Update 1: I just spent the better part of three hours dealing with the credit bureaus, background check company, my prospective leasing agencys corporate office, and the clerk of courts. Not too much has changed with the exception that I got my hands on the public records from that county. Its worse than I expected. Some of the dockets only have FN, LN, DOB. So the ones with no middle name are still being pinged to me, regardless of the fact that the other cases show that this guy with my name have a different middle name on them with the same DOB. Also, they said that they have an address on file that matched the PA one with the court cases. Well, I explained to them the circular reasoning that the address they have was obtained in error because they obtained it based on FN, LN, DOB from the court cases and there was a long silence, then they put me on with a supervisor who was also useless. BUT now its being escalated. From where I stand, its impossible to prove via documentation to them that this person isnt me because they didnt put any information in the dockets other than the FN, LN, DOB!! Its just turtles all the way down with these people. My leasing office understands and is being patient. Im going to turn to the Attorney General of PA next to see if I can have those records clarified by having them supersede them with more information for future references. Also, I dont think I can just change my name and make this go away. Id still have to provide my previous namesaliases in the future. So I have to get this removed from my credit history and criminal history head on. Also, Im an airline pilot so I have to maintain a positive training history with FAA. So if I changed my name, Id have to go back and get those records all changed with my previous employers apparently. It may be more than just a simple form in my local courthouse. Quick aside: No, friends. Im not going to have him killed. Though Im sure you guys meant well and everything.Update 2: The corporate office of the apartment building did a little digging and decided that despite the CoreLogic credit check, theyre going to override and approve us for the apartment. Im still going to have to dig in and get these records either clarified with more identifying information, or removed. Im sure this wont be the last of my troubles with this guy. Ill update again after I talk to the Attorney Generals office tomorrow. Update 3: So it took some doing but CoreLogic removed those items from my report. PA uses public records, so I was able to get ahold of the Clerk of Court and have her pull up anything related to my first and last name. She eventually directed me to a public records portal and I was able to access the dockets and match them to the 4 items that were marked verified as reported on my dispute results. Some of them didnt contain anything more than FN, LM, DOB. Theres no imperative for them to use anything more than that, and anyone can seemingly tell them anything they want if they dont have an ID upon their arrest. The records were right next to other dockets that referenced other dockets and court summaries that DID contain a middle name. I was able to follow a paper trail and show that at some point the defendant was referenced with his different middle name. Heres the rub. Corelogic may have fixed my consumer report but its going to keep happening to me. The advice I got from an attorney is to have them ship me a hard copy of those results. Copy those and store them onto a cloud server somewhere that I can get to them any time I need them. Then the next time this comes up, show the results to the party or better yet, show them when I apply for anything that requires a background check. And hope he gets his shit together, of course.  <response>: It seems like you already have an idea of what you ought to do here, but just as a general question that anyone might be able to answer, wouldnt doing a proper state or federal background check be enough to show that you and this other guy are obviously not the same person? It seems that the issue here is the private company, CoreLogic, having incorrect results that are interfering with your ability to obtain housing or employment, so youre right to sue them if they dont rectify the situation, but that could take a while to fix. An expedited FBI background check, or at least one from your state, should hopefully be correct, and being from a government entity should be sufficient proof for a landlord or employer that you are who you say you are.
