Anyone Actually Force Checkr (or Similar Companies) Into Arbitration And Get A Real Payout?

I’m trying to see how common this is and what people actually experienced.

I had a background check done through Checkr that reported a felony conviction in a way that was flat-out misleading and shouldn’t have been showing the way it did. The case had already been resolved years prior and was later sealed, but the report still showed a “guilty” disposition with an old date like it was current and valid.

Because of that, I lost out on a job opportunity and had to deal with the fallout of fixing something that never should’ve been reported that way in the first place. I eventually got a corrected report showing I passed—but only after the damage was already done.

I ended up taking legal action, and it’s now in arbitration. From what I’ve seen so far, the process feels like a mix of:

• long stretches of nothing happening
• back-and-forth between attorneys
• the company trying to delay or minimize exposure
• and occasional settlement talks that don’t always seem serious

There was at least one point where a settlement offer was on the table, but it didn’t go through, and now it looks like things are progressing further toward an actual arbitration hearing (unless it resolves before then).

At this point I’m just trying to understand how these usually play out in the real world:

• Did your case settle before the hearing, or did you actually go all the way through arbitration?
• Did things suddenly move faster at a certain point, or was it slow the entire time?
• Did the company increase their offer closer to the hearing date?
• Was the outcome worth the time and stress?

Not looking for legal advice—just real experiences from people who’ve been through it. It’s hard to tell what’s typical vs. what’s just part of the process.

Appreciate any insight.
