The written request must include a specific description of the information the applicant is disputing, personal information which needs to include their full legal name, aliases, Social Security number, date of birth, mailing address, phone number, and their signature
• Validity will notify the employer of the dispute
• After Validity has received the dispute in writing, a re-investigation will commence regarding the information disputed
• Once the re-investigation is complete, Validity notifies both the applicant and the employer of the findings
• If the original report was inaccurate, Validity will make the appropriate changes and provide the updated report to the employer and the applicant. Validity keeps disputes on file for a minimum of six years
