I do background checks when working for Alan all the time and there are many reasons that you could get denied.
First off the person entering your info could have fat fingered a single letter in your name, SS#, date of birth, address ect. and that got you denied. I had a young lady who was purchasing a hand gun for her new husband. Her husband was shipped off to Iraq just after they tied the knot. She used her new last name and it was denied. I re-entered her info useing her maiden name and it went right through.
I always double sometimes even tripple check the info I entered before I submit the check. My guess would be that since you gave your SS# the idiot who entered your info for the check screwed up.
Let us know what you find out
That's my guess. With the volume it's probably easier to deny and have the applicant follow-up. They could get a bunch more checks done in the same amount of time that it would take to work through each application that has some kind of mistake that can't be verified.Quote:

Randy had the same thing happen with an old driving ticket. Took 2 months.
Might wanna check.
Ya i've definitely sent in the paper telling them i'm appealing the decision and to send me the reason for the denial, so now i wait.... So question, i was told that your address didn't matter and I have recently moved so I used my new mailing address rather than the one on my drivers license. The guy at the shop told me that the address didn't matter and that wasn't the reason for the denial. Is that true or could all this be because I didn't use the address on my drivers license? Also he wouldn't re-run it even when I asked him to, said once your denied they wouldn't let any other applications through. Is that true also?

My bet is he fat fingered it they were so busy and he didnt like his job enough to double check all the info. Thats the only time I have been denied. One lady fat fingered it twice so I had to sit through 3 checks.... This was a while before the gun craze though...
The 3 years I worked for an FFL we had quite a few get denied because the person had identity theft they didn't know about. I had the securtiy chief for the Governer get denied once. All his cronies were laughing their tailes off. He came back a couple weeks later. His was identity theft as well..
Fat fingering gets the application rejected, not denied. Anything that doesnt jibe with the name, or SSN will get it thrown back to the dealer to fix, or a phone call from the CBI going WTF are you smoking.
I have a friend of mine that had a firearm shipped to Hickman rifles. When earl phoned it in CBI was like "no, the real SSN" Earl told the woman that he was looking right at the Military ID and that was the SSN.Quote:
