My plan
Our attorney: Cory M. Teed
Golden & Cardona-Loya, LLP

Call him if: Debt collector harassment (FDCPA / Rosenthal), robocalls and texts (TCPA), credit bureaus that ignore disputes (FCRA), identity theft. The law usually makes the company pay the legal fees.

Have ready: Your call log · The letters you sent + delivery receipts · Screenshots of calls / texts / voicemails · Your credit reports
Before you pay anyone to “fix” your credit

Everything here is free, and it's the same work they'd do. If you hire a company anyway, the law protects you:

  • • They can't charge you until the work is done.
  • • They must give you a written contract, and you can cancel within 3 business days.
  • • No one can legally remove accurate, current information. Walk away from anyone who promises to.
