The result of the recession and personal loss has resulted in a very poor report. The job is essential to recover, yet every employer uses the same type of search of the financial background. Is there any recourse?

Generally not, persons in dire financial conditions are prone to be higher risks in a number of categories. Your best bet is to realize this causes a question and preemptively explain it with a letter attached to the application. There are so many applicants for any attractive position that you have to explain yourself and your special circumstances before you are disqualified from further consideration due to a simple filter such as criminal record or financial trouble.
