remedy needed for closing/erasing record

[prototype]

Here's the situation, a person has midemeanors on record, gets job then background check arrives and employment is terminated. Happened twice so far. The infractions are over three years old. Is there a way to have the records blocked or sealed so that said individual may retain a position. One should not have to perpetually pay for non-violent infractions from years past. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

An in the box approach would be to look for the expungement procedures in that state

[ezrhythm]

Out-of-the-box method -

Learn Commercial Remedy, Notice and Default them in to clearing the record.

Or

Find out if the Judges involved had their proper Oaths of Office properly filed. (Most likely they didn't.)
If not, then their seat was vacant at the time of your judgement and is void.

Nay,
Don't fiddle with doing any legal or lawful or common law name change.
Why if that is your own name would you have to be asking permission from some higher power?
Just make the decision to go by some other appellation and don't ask permission to do that from anyone.
There is no law that says that you cannot do that.

I agree do not become numbered.
and start a new record.

I don't advise changing your identity in an "irregular" way. Very likely when your employer submits his financial data to the IRS and the SSN you are using is connected with your real name or someone else's name or nobody at all, things will get very unpleasant. At that point you could be fired for fraud, and possibly also subject to all sorts of trouble primarily with the IRS. Something similar could happen if any sort of security check takes your fingerprints. A similar problem could also arise if the IRS starts to wonder why you - in your real name and SSN - stops reporting an income and paying income tax.

Your state may have a process for sealing or expunging records, but this doesn't necessarily mean that a commercial background check outfit doesn't already have your name in their computer.

You haven't mentioned what sort of jobs check your background this way. Apparently you check NO where your job application asks about criminal convictions and you get caught for lying on the application. I suggest being upfront and candid about your record.

That is the common law recognized method. The law recognizes the method but does not claim to have invented the method and the common law recognizes that NO LEGAL involvement is required.

Section 6. In general; common-law right to change name

The common law recognizes the right of any adult person to change his name by general usage or habit without the necessity of legal proceedings [47]. A minor has no such right [48]. The statutory procedure for the change of personal names does not abrogate the common-law right [49], but provides a means of recording the change [50]. If a person changes his name and uses and is known by the new name in all his affairs, it becomes his legal name just as though it had been borne from birth and it follows that it is not then assumed or fictitious [51]. After a change of name, the new name may be effectually employed for the purpose of designating the individual, [52] and he may acquire property, do business, [53] execute contracts, [54] and sue or be sued by it [55].

Bernie, It's clear, according to the original post, that things already got unpleasant as this person was twice terminated due to prejudice based upon the misdemeanors.

And there you go (again) spewing your propaganda by suggesting that a SSN is required for a person to earn a living. There is no such requirement.

Ownmaster, what cite or statute is this "Section 6." from?
