Verdict Against Equifax Including Attorney's Fees

The Consumerist has a nice post on a wonderful verdict in Florida that has resulted in over $500,000 in attorney's fees along with the multimillion dollar verdict. Often companies such as Equifax, Experian, or Trans Union act like these cases have no value so this is a nice reminder that juries do take seriously the destruction of someone's credit report by a consumer reporting agency.

Remember to pull your credit reports and examine them for errors. If you have errors, dispute them with Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. If these agencies won't correct the errors, feel free to contact us for a free consultation to advise you of your options.

Alabama Consumer Sues Verizon And TransUnion For False Credit Reporting

We recently filed suit for an Alabama consumer who has been attempting to clear his credit report of a false Verizon Wireless account for many years now. As many consumers have discovered to their horror, sometimes accounts appear on their credit reports which do not belong to them, and when that is explained to the credit reporting agencies (such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) and to the creditor/furnisher of information (such as Verizon, Bank of America, Capital One, etc.) the information is often not removed. This can be very frustrating as it can impact your credit worthiness as well as being an extraordinarily frustrating event knowing that false information is being communicated about you.

As we have discussed elsewhere, it is a good idea to check your credit reports for free and if there is false information on there, that information should be disputed directly with the credit reporting agencies and oftentimes with a copy of the dispute letter going to the creditor/furnisher.

If you are facing this situation, please feel free to contact us for a free consultation if you live in Alabama.

Woman Sued By Recording Industry Wins Attorney's Fees

We have all heard about illegal downloading of music and the lawsuits that the recording industry (through RIAA) has filed against people. Certainly some are guilty but there are numerous reports of the recording industry running (or trying to run) roughshod over people.

The Consumerist has a nice article on Debbie Foster who was awarded over $68,000 in fees that the recording industry must pay. Sometimes it does turn out right to stand up and defend yourself from an unjustified suit.
