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.

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.

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).

How Are Fraudulent Accounts Opened?

Each year, thousands of U.S. citizens fall victim to financial fraud and identity theft. Fraudsters can easily open credit accounts or take out loans in your name by accessing a few key pieces of personal information, such as your SSN, full name, and date of birth. While most financial institutions have strict identity verification procedures, some still allow credit applications to be submitted online without comprehensive checks. In such cases, a thief could open a credit card in your name, redirect the card to their own address, and leave you unaware of the theft.

Step

Lawsuit & Compensation

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT

Fraudulent accounts and inquiries can severely impact your credit score and prevent you from accessing vital services. These errors can lead to credit denials, loss of housing opportunities, or even employment issues.

You have the right to challenge and remove fraudulent entries on your credit report. If identity theft is found, the credit bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct the errors. Failing to do so is a violation of your consumer rights.

Under the FCRA, credit bureaus must investigate disputes of identity theft within 30 days. If the fraudulent activity is confirmed, they are legally required to remove the incorrect entries from your report.

Michael's testimonial

Michael

Georgia

My twin brother stole my identity and took out a car loan in my name it was a nightmare. I had to file a police report and testify against him to clear my name. Thankfully, Consumer Attorneys provided excellent guidance on how to handle the situation, and I even received compensation for all the damage and stress this caused.

Lucy's testimonial

Lucy

New York

I found myself in a horrible situation when all my documents were stolen from my car. The next day, I noticed over 50 hard inquiries on my credit reports, and my scores dropped almost 200 points! I reached out to Consumer Attorneys, and after nearly 8 months of filing dispute letters, we managed to have the fraudulent accounts removed. On top of that, I received a significant amount of compensation.

Luis's testimonial

Luis

Florida

One morning, I woke up to find an account on my TransUnion report that I didn't open. It turned out that the credit card had been mailed to someone in a different state. I m not sure if my ID was stolen or if TransUnion made a mistake, but Consumer Attorneys sent them a letter, and the unrecognized account was removed within days. There was no grounds for lawsuit, but my reports got fixed!
