Case: Individual Employment Rights/Fair Credit Reporting Act (N.D. Cal.)

Core-Mark International Inc. adequately showed that its “all-encompassing” disclosure, and a former employee’s authorization allowing Core-Mark to obtain consumer reports satisfy the Fair Credit Reporting Act’s requirement of clarity, thus avoiding the employee’s putative class action lawsuit seeking to represent a class of employees whose background reports were obtained. The employee failed to state a cognizable claim under the FCRA when he said the disclosure was not “clear.” The case is Brown v. Core-Mark Int’l, Inc., 2019 BL 170981, N.D. Cal., No. 18-cv-07451-JCS, 5/10/19.
