QUESTION
What can I do if my daughter's criminal record to showing up on my background check?
Asked on Mar 09th, 2012 on Criminal Law - California
More details to this question:
I recently moved from CA to GA. I applied for a job with the local fire department and they advised they would do a background check. I was fine with that as my credit history is "pristine" and I have never been convicted of any crime. Not even a traffic ticket that I can recall. I received a copy of the results which show 2 convictions in my name, with my dob and ssn in California in 2006. I haven't been in the county they named. I lived in a different county. However, my daughter lives in the county that is listed and got a DUI about that time. Can you tell me a quick way to resolve this? I have no idea who to contact and this, no doubt, will affect my job application.

It shouldn't reflect on your record, unless she has the same name and it got confused with yours. BUT, it clearly appears she used your name and ID when arrested. There is no quick way to resolve it. You are going to have to spend time and money trying to get the court to correct the records and report the corrections to DOJ and credit reporting agencies.

Have the record expunged. Contact an attorney about her eligibility.

That is a frustrating situation to be in. Unfortunately, I don't know that there is a quick solution to this. You may have to inquire with the court about clearing up the issue, which is not likely to be a quick task. You may want to consult and hire an attorney in the county the conviction is listed in to work on clearing this for you.
