Practice Areas

The federal consumer-protection claims our attorneys handle every day. If any of these are happening to you, you have rights — and we enforce them at no out-of-pocket cost.

FDCPA debt collector harassment

FDCPA — Debt Collector Harassment

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law that tells third-party debt collectors what they cannot do. If a collector has broken any of these rules, you may be entitled to statutory damages (up to $1,000), plus actual damages, plus attorneys’ fees paid by the collector.

Violations we pursue:

  • Repeated / harassing phone calls
  • Calls at work after you told them to stop
  • Threats of arrest, wage garnishment, or lawsuit that won’t happen
  • Calling after you asked in writing for them to stop
  • Misrepresenting the amount or status of the debt
  • Contacting friends, family, or neighbors about your debt
  • Using profane, abusive, or threatening language

FCRA credit report error

FCRA — Credit Report Errors

The Fair Credit Reporting Act makes Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and the furnishers who report to them responsible for the accuracy of your file. When they get it wrong and refuse to fix it after you dispute, you can sue for damages — and many furnishers / bureaus settle quickly once counsel is involved.

Reporting problems we handle:

  • Accounts on your report that aren’t yours
  • Balances or status reported incorrectly
  • Mixed files (someone else’s data merged into yours)
  • Debts still reported past the 7-year limit
  • Re-aging of old debts to reset the clock
  • Bureau failure to investigate after you disputed
  • Denied mortgage or loan because of the error

Identity theft recovery

Identity Theft Recovery

Someone else ran up debts in your name? Accounts opened with your Social Security number? The FCRA gives you a legal path to clean your file and hold the bureaus / furnishers accountable when they don’t honor the identity-theft dispute process correctly.

What we help with:

  • Removing fraudulent accounts from your report
  • Stopping collectors chasing debts that aren’t yours
  • Section 605B identity theft block requests
  • Holding bureaus accountable when they reject valid claims

TCPA illegal robocalls

TCPA — Illegal Robocalls & Texts

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act bars companies from robocalling or robo-texting your cell phone without prior express consent. Violators owe $500–$1,500 per call or text. If your phone rings nonstop with spam calls or your inbox is full of automated debt-collection texts, there’s a claim here.

Typical TCPA violations:

  • Autodialed calls to your cell with no consent
  • Pre-recorded voice messages / ringless voicemails
  • Texts after you replied STOP
  • Calls to numbers on the Do Not Call registry

Collection lawsuit defense

Collection Lawsuit Defense

Served with a lawsuit over a debt? Don’t ignore it — default judgments turn into wage garnishment fast. We evaluate whether the plaintiff actually owns the debt, whether the statute of limitations has run, and whether any FDCPA / FCRA counterclaims exist.

How we help:

  • Review of the complaint and supporting documents
  • Chain-of-title analysis (did the plaintiff legally buy the debt?)
  • Statute of limitations defense where available
  • FDCPA counterclaims when the collector overreached

Credit bureau dispute failures

Bureau Dispute Failures

You disputed an error and the bureau rubber-stamped the original furnisher? That’s a separate FCRA claim on top of the underlying inaccuracy. Bureaus are required to conduct a “reasonable reinvestigation.” When they don’t, you’re entitled to damages.

Signals you have a claim:

  • Disputed multiple times, error still on report
  • Bureau claimed to “verify” without real investigation
  • Supporting documents you sent were ignored
  • Damages — denied credit, higher interest, lost housing
