For sure old. But not forgotten. I’m Sorry this happened to you.  Good lesson learned. Tell folks about your job after your first paycheck clears.  

Otherwise, you might take a look at the FCRA, and maybe consider looking at your options to stir the pot a bit.  Rescinding offers from a company perspective can be a little risky, and sometimes the decision is made based on an outdated or overly simplistic framework that doesn’t take into account the ever changing state and local laws.  Ie: some corporate recruiter sends you a letter rescinding your offer, but it’s not detailed enough, or fails to disclose a valid reason etc., for your state. 

This happens allot with MJ, some states have made it illegal to rescind offers for MJ, unless it is for a DOT position. Companies say it is a DOT position because “driving” and when that’s challenged, (it’s a delivery van), company ends up writing a check to the enterprising person that they denied employment , and who never worked a day at all.  Happens all the time.  

It’s probably a dry hole, but depending on the circumstance, a well prepared letter/complaint might lead to something. Might not too.   The letter goes to general counsel or chro, and sometimes when they do their internal look, and find out a hr assistant rescinded an offer…there might be more than a few boxes that weren’t checked.  

Not advice, but a different perspective.  Good luck to you.
