    INVESTIGATIVE ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT

    You, (“Client,” “you”), and Consumer Attorneys PLLC (“CA” or “we”), located at 72-47 139th street Flushing, NY 11367 (“CA”) , hereby enter into this limited scope retainer agreement whereby you agree to grant CA the exclusive authority to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s), including but not limited to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), Electronic Funds Transfer Act “EFTA”), Fair Credit Billing Act (“FCPA”), and/or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA”) (collectively referenced as “consumer protection statutes”). 1Please read carefully before signing:

    Authorization

    You authorize CA to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) under state and federal consumer protection statutes. You authorize CA to contact third parties on your behalf for the limited purpose of investigating your potential consumer law claims. “Third parties” include but are not limited to consumer reporting agencies, creditors, lenders, debt collectors, rental agencies, employers, courts, and law enforcement agencies.

    CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period

    CA agrees to investigate your potential consumer law claims in good faith. By signing this agreement, you agree to give CA the exclusive right to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) for the next 180 days (“Exclusive Investigative Period”). For the duration of the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that you will not communicate with any other law firm or legal representative about your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to forgo any previously scheduled consultation or case review until CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period concludes.

    Termination of Exclusive Investigation Period

    CA agrees that the Exclusive Investigative Period may not extend beyond 180 days without your prior written consent.

    At any time between the date of this agreement and the expiration of CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period, CA may inform you of the outcome of its investigation. If CA’s investigation reveals that you have an actional consumer law claim, CA may ask you to sign a formal retainer agreement. If CA’s investigation does not reveal an actionable consumer law claim, you will receive an e-mail that states CA will not represent you in any further pursuit of your potential claim(s).

    The relationship between you and CA automatically terminates at 5pm on the 180th day of the Exclusive Investigative Period or your receipt of CA’s written notice to decline representation, whichever comes sooner. At the conclusion of the Exclusive Investigative Period or upon receipt of CA’s written declination of representation, you are permitted to seek alternative legal counsel without penalty.

    Nothing in this agreement should be construed as a promise or guarantee that CA will represent you in a consumer lawsuit at any point in time. CA reserves the right to decline to represent you for any reason permitted by relevant laws and ethical rules.

    Your Involvement and Promises to us

    You agree to meaningfully participate and cooperate in CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to immediately inform CA if your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number changes at any point during the Exclusive Investigative Period.
    You agree to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, materials, and all other similar instruments to CA and its representatives during the Exclusive Investigative Period. You understand that your failure to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, and materials to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period may hinder, delay or otherwise frustrate CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s).

    You agree, under penalty of perjury, to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information to CA. All documents and communications, oral or written, past or future, provided to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period and anytime thereafter are presumed by CA to be true, complete, and accurate.

    Fees and Costs Incurred During Exclusive Investigative Period

    CA agrees that you will not incur any out-of-pocket fees or costs during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period. However, if CA agrees to represent you in a consumer lawsuit, CA may recover the fees and costs incurred during the Exclusive Investigative Period from the Defendant pursuant to a future settlement or judgment.

    You agree that CA has a right to place a lien on any future monetary recovery obtained by client related to the claims identified during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period or as a result of CA’s investigative efforts. If you refuse to cooperate with CA in the formal pursuit of the consumer law claim(s) it identifies during or after the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that CA has the right to recover the fees and costs it incurred while investigating your potential consumer law claim(s).

    Authorization to Use Your Electronic Signature

    CA will send you any and all documents that require your signature. You authorize CA to affix your electronic signature to requests, disclosures, or other forms that CA deems reasonably necessary to the investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s) upon receipt of your approval or after the 7th day after the document was sent to you, whichever comes first. Your electronic signature will be used on any and all other subsequent documents that will need signature, affirmation, acknowledgment, or any other forms of authentication in reference to this matter under the above referenced procedure.

    1You also agree to give CA the exclusive authority to investigate potential violations of state-specific consumer protection statutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    Yes, our free consultations are totally confidential.
