Can my former employer run a background check on me when I no longer work for his company?I found out my ex-boss is still using my profile to accept jobs in a subcontractor forum. He accepted a job under my profile that required a background check. He submitted the paperwork with my SSN and DL # and signed my name. I have not worked for him for the last 12 months, he just did this in the past month. This can't be legal. What can I do? Attorney answers (1)
This does not sound like acceptable conduct. Primarily, there may be a violation of the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act. That would be your most likely path to collect monetary damages. I suggest you see an attorney immediately so you can protect your rights and stop this activity.
