FROM THE KBC CASEBOOK - FALSELY ACCUSED OF MURDER

A concerned professional wished to minimize their risk to identity theft by subscribing to KBC’s Protector program. Upon completing the initial eye-spy report, KBC uncovered that one of the leading professional background checking companies had listed our client as having been convicted of first degree murder in a distant state. KBC case specialists searched the criminal convictions database for that state and discovered that a murder conviction had been obtained by the state for a person of the same name and date of birth. However, the convicted criminal had died in prison.

KBC case specialists often find harmful information in these databases which was either entered in error or was inadequately confirmed. The false information concerning a murder conviction, if undiscovered could have had a disastrous effect on the client’s career and life.
Armed with this knowledge the client moved to correct the data. Since harmful errors in databases often re-occur, KBC continues to monitor the databases to ensure that this erroneous information does not reappear.
