I recently encountered a challenging situation when my rental application was rejected by a landlord, citing information provided by the TransUnion Rental Screening Solution. The disclosed data included details of evictions and crimes that are entirely unrelated to me. Despite my attempts to clarify the error and my willingness to submit a RealPage background check dispute, the landlord denied my appeal, leaving me in a precarious housing situation. As the rejected rental was not only affordable but also my sole viable option, I am now contemplating legal action against the background screening company for reporting inaccuracies. I am seeking advice on how to navigate this situation, and I am curious if anyone has faced a similar dilemma and successfully obtained compensation for such mistakes. Could you kindly share your experiences and insights on how to proceed in such cases?

My rental application was turned down by the landlord because of the TransUnion Rental Screening Solution. They disclosed data of evictions and crimes that are unrelated to me. The landlord rejected my bid to clarify that it was the company's fault and that I would submit a realpage background check dispute to show that I had no negative records. I wish to sue the background screening company for reporting inaccuracies because that was the only rent I could pay and the cheapest one. Would you kindly tell me what you did in a situation like this and could I get compensation for their mistake?
