Our credit report attorneys have litigated hundreds of Fair Credit Reporting Act cases across the country. Our experience in this area of law is derived not only from representing consumers, but from years of prior representation of two of the three national consumer reporting agencies, Trans Union and Equifax.
Using the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and other consumer protection statues, our attorneys pursue money damages for such things as loss of credit opportunities, loss of employment or job opportunities, emotional distress, damage to reputation, and in some cases, punitive damages.
The attorneys of Cento Law have litigated credit reporting cases in federal and state courts across the country. Our lawyers have experience handling credit reporting cases for individuals and class actions.
Cento Law takes all consumer credit reporting cases on a contingent fee basis, so the consumer does not pay a fee unless there is a monetary recovery.
