District Court for the Western District of North Carolina
Case Summary
According to the lawsuit at the time the plaintiffs applied for a job, Lowe’s pulled a background check about them. Lowe’s asked the Plaintiffs to sign a disclosure and authorization form that contained a liability waiver, which according to the Plaintiffs violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681b(b)(2) because it contained additional language other than a disclosure under this law..
