    Actually its not illegal in Colorado for employers to do credit checks on all employees. 

    It very much depends on where you work and your job responsibilities. 

    A few examples where its legal

    Banks and credit union employees 

    Someone whose job has access to customers personal and financial information 

    Jobs that require handling cash

    Figure out what damages you have suffered and you can sue them for it.  You'll also get fired.

    You have nothing to gain by pursuing the matter.  Just be glad you have a job.
