How would background check services get hold of this information before trial? Were you arrested? I'm sorry, but based on my experience with these systems, this sounds like a fake story.

Even the detail about your bank accounts being closed doesn't add up at all.

Look at the whole Adam Savage thing from a few years ago, All the court documents have the plaintiffs claims attached to them..

It adds up..

Are you saying that Adam Savage had his bank accounts closed?

As far as I can tell, that was only a civil case and entirely different from the parent commenters story.

Arrest records and charges are public records. Maybe I wasn't very clear about banks - let me try clarify. I lost my house, and it was hard to find place to even rent because of background checks. And ex cashed all money from my saving accounts while I was arrested, since it was shared account, it was totally legal for her to do that. So I have no money, no car, no place to rent - nothing. Tried to open a credit card to get by, banks I tried refused me.
