Employer retracted a job offer, What can I do?

I was offer a Job with a Financial Company and a few days later the offer was retracted. <br> <br>Here are the details. <br> <br>Day after interview, Company called to offer me a position, I accepted (verbally). HR stated an offer would be sent to me in the mail and I was suppose to complete the fallowing paper work and bring it in on my first day. <br> <br>Received offer, Filled (signed) out documents with offer. Along with offer there was a statement I needed to fax in so they could conduct a background check (Faxed it in same day) <br> <br>4 days Prior my first start day they called me and said Due to my Credit report the offer is No longer up. <br> <br>So more info. Lost my job awhile back (3 yrs or so ago) and couldn&#039;t find a job that paid enough for me to pay my mortgage and living cost. Ended up using my credit card a lot (building up debt). Time past still couldn&#039;t find job so I became self employed (independent Contractor) for about 2 yrs. Didn&#039;t really make a lot of money but enough to pay the mortgage and living cost. Credit Card Bills went unpaid. Saving Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for when I 100% need it. <br> <br>Is the job offer retraction legal? I read in a few places stating that once the offer is made on paper they cannot take it back and others say if the hiring process isn&#039;t complete they can retract it.
