Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

Now, more so than ever, the accuracy of credit reports
is critical. Lenders are requiring higher scores and credit
card companies are charging higher interest rates to people
with lower scores. And yet, the accuracy of credit reports
is something we tend to ignore.

Robert helps his clients review and understand their credit
report. If inaccurate information exists, he will help them
have those items corrected.

Fair Debt Collection Practices ACT
(FDCPA)

Federal law governs how debt collectors may conduct
themselves in attempting to collect a debt. Unfortunately,
abuses in this industry still exist. The FDCPA protects
consumers from harassment at both home and work. It
also mandates that debt collectors provide certain verifi-
cations of the debt.

Robert represents consumers whose rights under the
FDCPA have been violated.
