Jonathan is an Associate Attorney at Consumer Attorneys, where he specializes in matters under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). With a deep commitment to consumer advocacy, Jonathan focuses on helping clients navigate complex legal challenges involving their rights in the areas of credit reporting, debt collection, and employment law.

Jonathan began working with Consumer Attorneys in 2021 during his first year of law school and has since developed a strong foundation in federal consumer protection statutes, including the FCRA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Jonathan Krikheli's practices

Credit Report Errors

Inaccurate credit reports can lead to denied loans, housing, or employment opportunities. Our attorneys specialize in correcting errors such as mixed files, outdated information, and false deceased notations. We hold credit bureaus accountable under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to restore your financial reputation.

Debt Collection Harassment Attorneys

Harassment by debt collectors is not only stressful but often illegal. We defend clients against aggressive collection tactics, including false claims and intimidation. Our firm enforces your rights under laws like the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to stop unlawful practices.

Identity Theft and Fraud

Identity theft creates problems that don't always go away with a simple phone call. Fraudulent accounts reappear on credit reports after disputes. Lenders deny mortgages because someone else's debt sits in the file. Hours disappear into calls with banks, bureaus, and the IRS, and the fraud still isn't fully removed. When the system stops working the way it should, an identity theft lawyer can pursue claims for consumers hurt by reporting errors. Federal statutes including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), and Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) shift legal fees to the defendant when the consumer prevails. This structure lets an attorney for identity theft victims handle these cases nationwide with no out-of-pocket cost to the client.

Mixed Credit Reports

Mixed identity errors - also known as "mixed files" - occur when a consumer's credit report contains information belonging to someone else. These errors can result in credit reports showing unpaid debts, bankruptcies, or unfamiliar addresses, even when the consumer has no connection to these records. For thousands of Americans each year, mixed identity errors cause financial hardship, job loss, and personal stress.

Deceased on Credit Report

Few credit reporting errors hit as hard or as fast as a wrongful deceased notation. When your credit report says you are deceased, your entire life takes a bad turn: accounts get frozen, loan applications come back denied, and rental applications go nowhere. None of it involves a human being ever even looking at the file. It’s all done by automated systems that see the flag and respond to it. That's the whole process – simple, painful, and unfair. The system simply decided you’re no longer alive. It sounds absurd. Yet, it happens to real people every year.

Tenant Screening Report Errors

Whether you lost the rental of your dreams or just the rental you really needed, being rejected for a rental due to errors in your tenant background screening report feels shockingly unjust. If errors cost you a rental, know what to do next. Learn your legal rights and how to protect them. Dispute errors, work with a lawyer, and get compensation!
