Dollar General background checks are a lot stricter than people expect, and they don’t always get it right. Plenty of applicants report getting rejected over outdated records, dismissed charges, or even information that doesn’t belong to them. The worst part is they don’t always explain why you were disqualified — just a generic “not moving forward.” There’s actually a breakdown of how their screening process works and what rights you have under the Fair Credit Reporting Act here: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/dollar-general-background-check. Anyone who’s sure the report was wrong shouldn’t just accept the rejection and walk away. Background check errors can be disputed, and if Dollar General or the screening company didn’t give proper notice or a chance to fix the mistake, that’s a legal issue — not just bad luck.
