This includes common mistakes like clerical errors, mixed credit reports, false deceased designations, and reporting old information (like a bankruptcy).

Our experienced identity theft attorneys help you fight back against the wide variety of consumer reporting mistakes that happen following identity theft. While you may be able to pursue criminal charges against identity thieves, you are frequently left without options for cleaning up your financial accounts and credit reports. If you’ve filed notices, disputed unauthorized activity, and challenged false loans and fraudulent accounts, but financial institutions and credit bureaus keep including wrongful data in your consumer reports, there are laws that protect you. Some legal options are time-sensitive, so it is important to act quickly to enforce your rights. See more
Our experienced debt collection harassment attorneys help you fight back against debt collectors and debt collection agencies who (1) aggressively pursue you for payments on personal, medical, or household debts based on misleading, inaccurate, or false information, (2) pursue you for debts in a manner that is in direct defiance of the clearly established debt collection laws, (3) attempt to collect debts on medical bills arising out of covered workers' compensation or Medicaid claims, or (4) use intimidation tactics like falsely implying that a debt must be paid by you immediately, in contradiction to the facts and the law.

Our experienced employment discrimination attorneys help you fight back against illegal treatment at your workplace. Employment discrimination is targeting or preferring employees based on their status as a member of a protected group (or “class”) rather than their work performance, talent, or experience. Protected classes include categories such as age, race, sex, gender, disability, marital status, military status (including veteran status), pregnancy, national origin or ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. Employment discrimination can be direct (targeted actions or preferences) or indirect (policies with an unfair impact on one class). Knowing what counts as discrimination involves a nuanced factual and legal analysis. See more
Our experienced labor and employment dispute attorneys help you fight back against workplace exploitation and disputes that arise out of your rights as an employee. This includes employee abuses such as unpaid or underpaid minimum wages, failing to pay overtime, forcing employees to work in unsafe conditions, refusing meal or rest breaks, ignoring workplace health and safety standards, unfairly denying family and medical leave, and more. While exploitative and illegal labor practices occur in every industry, some of the highest incidences of overtime and minimum wage disputes occur in food service, retail, home care, janitorial services, and construction.

Some of the most common workplace injuries include injuries to the back, neck, head, or brain, repetitive strain injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome), and burns or chemical exposures. Workers’ compensation is supposed to cover the costs of medical expenses, lost wages, vocational rehab, and death benefits. When employers and insurance companies try to avoid the legal obligation to pay by denying coverage, working with an attorney can make the difference between getting better or going broke. See more

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.
