To dispute inaccurate information on a Sterling (part of First Advantage) employment background-check report, write to First Advantage — United Kingdom, Standard Court, Park Row, Suite 203, Nottingham NG1 6GN. Sterling carries out criminal-record, reference, and credential checks on behalf of UK employers — it is a separate consumer reporting agency from Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion, so a credit-report dispute does not touch this file.
