Adnan P.
Maricopa County, Arizona
I felt like I was chasing my tail for months. I certainly couldn’t buy a house or even a car. Because of that, I’ve put off proposing to my girlfriend. I didn’t want to pull her into my financial mess. No matter how much you love someone and want to start a life with them, you don’t want to worry about ending up homeless or not having enough food in the refrigerator. Working with Consumer Attorneys has been a life-changing experience. I didn’t think I would ever get out of that financial hole. I’ll propose soon. Things are looking good. Read Adnan's story

I was fixing up my credit history due to a huge debt from credit cards. I had never joined a company before this one and instead of helping me, I was scammed and nothing was resolved. This caused me a lot of distress. Consumer Attorneys was able to explain everything to me and they always accommodated me with anything I needed. I have peace of mind knowing that it is being settled.

Experian was disclosing information on my credit report that was not supposed to be there. I tried to fix the problem on my own, but Experian made it worse. We were in the middle of buying a house, and we almost lost the financing. Consumer Attorneys was great to work with. They were very understanding of my situation and made the process very efficient. They were also respectful of my time. The attorneys were very accessible and they did a great job communicating with me. We got almost immediate results regarding fixing the credit report, and the financial settlement was a boon to my family that I believe fairly compensated us for the stress that Experian caused.

I think that a Consumer Attorneys firm has been really great. They're very informative about the whole process and help you make the right decisions as far as you know what your options are. They are readily available anytime I will email, someone's usually responding very quickly! Read Michael's story
Rahil A.
Goodyear, Arizona
My credit information had been lumped with my brother's information. On paper, it looked like me and my brother were the same person; almost like I didn't exist. I tried repeatedly to fix the problem on my own, with no luck. If you can’t borrow money, you can’t move up in life. Don’t blindly trust that the credit bureaus are doing their due diligence. Check your own credit at least once a year, and if something doesn’t seem right, call Consumer Attorneys. Read Rahil's story

Due to negative items on my credit report, I was unable to rent or obtain credit. The attorneys [at Consumer Attorneys] were very accommodating and thoroughly explained everything. They are professional, have good communication, and really do get the job done! I highly recommend them.

My Consumer Attorney's assistant was Duncan. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and carefully explained every step of the process and all the available options. He was patient with me and helped me to fix the inaccurate information on my credit reports. I will keep his number, so I can recommend him to other people... great guy :o)

Alabama, Cullman
Lana was very knowledgeable and patient. Answered all my questions without hesitation. This was my first time using the services of a law firm to fix my credit, and the Consumer Attorneys team nailed it. Lana made me feel more comfortable with the decision to bring a lawsuit and get rid of the negative information that my ex-husband caused to appear on my credit report. Thanks, Lana, for your calm and caring attitude. I really appreciate the experience.

Victoria is an amazing person, she helped me with my difficult issue, she helped me with patience. I want to thank her very, very much. I had someone's information on my credit reports, and Victoria was with me all the time till we fixed this.
Damian Craft
California, Carmel
Though I’d say it was a very time-consuming process, and at some point, I even thought of giving up since I’m old, and it was hard for me to gather all required proof, the assistants have been very patient and helpful in assisting me. I had someone else's information on my credit report, and they’ve fixed it. God bless you, my friends, god bless you.

It was a pleasure working with Kevin. He went above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied and well-informed. I’ll definitely advise my friends and relatives to use your services. Thank you for an awesome experience.
Pablo Campos

Kate is awesome, patiently assisting me with details. I got denied a job several times, because of some criminal records that did not belong to me being placed on my background report. I was almost at the bottom since I even started being late on payments on my credit accounts. This wonderful team of professionals helped me a lot. You’ve all been doing a great job, and your company is lucky to have one like Kate. Keep it up!

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Consumer Attorneys work in?
Based on many years of practice and the extensive legal experience of our lawyers, we provide legal services in these areas: credit reporting errors, consumer finance, disability actions, debt collection, labor disputes, securities, antitrust, ERISA, and personal injury. Our lawyers are always aware of all changes in the international and local legislative system.
What is credit reporting and how could it affect you?
You may be entitled to a money award if you have errors on your credit report. If you were denied a credit card or loan because of errors on your credit report, we specialize in correcting these errors and litigating claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Credit reporting agencies sell access to your credit report when you apply for a credit card or a loan, but a significant number of reports contain incomplete, inaccurate, or false information.
A credit report is a statement that has information about your credit activity. It includes your loan paying history and the status of your credit accounts. Lenders use these reports to decide if they grant you a loan and the interest rates they will offer you. Errors occur when a creditor provides inaccurate information, or when a credit reporting agency mixes up the information of individuals.
The Act is designed to protect consumers from the harmful effects of inaccurate information reported in credit reports. In the very first provision of the Act, Congress enshrined the principles of “fair and accurate credit reporting” and the “need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness”.
Consumer Attorneys will inspect your report and determine if the credit reporting agencies and the data providing entities have faithfully reported your credit.What are background check errors?
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act provides regulations for background information given to employers for people applying for a job, landlords for people applying for an apartment, and any other situations where someone requests a background check.
For example, consumer reporting agencies may violate the Act by wrongfully putting someone’s criminal record on a plaintiff’s record. This would interfere with a party’s employment, ability to take out a loan, or taking out a lease on an apartment.
Consumer Attorneys will evaluate the errors in your consumer report and, if necessary, will proceed in an action to make sure the report is corrected and that you are fully compensated for the mistake.What is identity theft?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act offers protection and recourse for victims of identity theft. The Act’s purpose is to require consumer reporting agencies to “adopt reasonable procedures . . . in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of [consumer] information.”
For example, an ex-husband may open a credit card in his wife’s name, stealing her identity. If the wife reports the application as false, the credit reporting agency must research the claim. If the claim is valid, the wife’s consumer report must be corrected. Unfortunately, the reports are often not corrected, and the wife will suffer the consequences.
Consumer Attorneys will work with you to correct the errors in your report and obtain compensation for the identity theft.When will I be responsible for attorney fees?
If Consumer Attorneys takes your case, we will handle it on a contingency basis, and you will not pay our fees unless we win your case or settle on your behalf. Our fees will be automatically deducted from your settlement, meaning you will not pay anything out of pocket and no upfront fees are required.
Does Consumer Attorneys provide free consultations?
Free consultations are falling out of favor with some law firms, but Consumer Attorneys puts the consumer first. We will put you in touch with an attorney who will discuss your situation with you free of charge to determine whether you have a potential claim for damages.
Is my free consultation confidential?
Yes, our free consultations are totally confidential.
