Where to post a HireRight UK background-check correction

To dispute inaccurate information on a HireRight employment background-check report, write to HireRight, Attn: Data Protection, 15 Westferry Circus, Canary Wharf, London E14 4HD. HireRight carries out criminal-record, reference, employment-history, and qualification checks on behalf of UK employers — it is a separate consumer reporting agency from Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion, and separate from Sterling/First Advantage, so a dispute with one does not touch the other.

Key facts

  • HireRight produces employment background-screening reports for UK employers — criminal record, reference, employment-history, and qualification checks — not credit reports.
  • Disputes can typically be raised free of charge and are usually resolved within 30 days (up to 45 in limited cases).
  • Clearly state which employer ordered the report and which specific item you are disputing, with your contact details.
  • Include a copy of photo ID so the request can be verified.
  • A HireRight dispute is separate from an Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion credit-report dispute, and from a Sterling/First Advantage dispute — each is a different consumer reporting agency with its own file.

Common questions

What is the postal address for a HireRight UK dispute?

HireRight, Attn: Data Protection, 15 Westferry Circus, Canary Wharf, London E14 4HD.

Is HireRight the same as Sterling or First Advantage?

No. HireRight is a separate, competing employment background-screening company. A dispute with HireRight does not correct a Sterling/First Advantage report, and vice versa — check which company your employer actually used.

How long does a HireRight dispute take?

Disputes are typically free and usually resolved within 30 days, though HireRight allows up to 45 days in limited circumstances depending on the nature and source of the disputed information.
