In Ratliff v. A&R Logistics, Inc., the plaintiff claimed A&R denied him a job based on a background check without the appropriate adverse action process. Ratliff alleged that the company failed to properly provide pre- and post-adverse action as set forth under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) guidelines. A&R moved to dismiss, arguing that the plaintiff lacked Constitutional standing. The Northern District of Illinois agreed after it first considered whether an informational injury occurred. Ratliff failed to allege any inaccuracies that could cause concrete harm, therefore, no injury existed and the decision stood.
