Q. Issues with Equifax credit report errors affecting financial activities and loan access, seeking advice on potential lawsuit.

May 22, 2025

A: Contact a consumer protection attorney familiar with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to determine if there could be a case under the FCRA. If there is a case to be brought, there is a chance that the attorney would take the case with no money up front. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Q. Can I get compensation for dealership's delay affecting credit and loan?

May 16, 2025

A: I would contact a consumer protection attorney to review the facts. Keep a detailed record of everything that you referenced. If they are reporting your account as delinquent, you'll also want to dispute the account with the credit reporting agencies.

Q. How can I stop a creditor from contacting me about an old credit card debt?

May 15, 2025

A: Send them a cease and desist letter telling them to stop all methods of communication. I recommend mailing it certified mail so you have the tracking information, as well as sending it in any other written method (if you have an email address for them or something else).
