Long Island Consumer Protection Lawyer
Consumer protection laws are designed to ensure that businesses, lenders, and credit agencies treat individuals fairly. These laws have been in place since the 1970s, providing important safeguards against abuse in credit reporting and debt collection.
Sugarman Law P.C. serves clients throughout Long Island and New York, representing individuals who have been victims of credit harassment, false credit reporting, or unfair
debt collection practices.
We focus on two of the most important federal consumer protection laws:
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
The FCRA protects you from inaccurate or misleading information on your credit report. It ensures that the data maintained by credit reporting agencies is accurate, fair, and private. If your report contains errors such as outdated debts, false delinquencies, or incorrect personal information, then you have the right to dispute and correct those mistakes.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
The FDCPA protects consumers from harassment and abuse by debt collectors. This law prohibits aggressive collection tactics such as repeated calls, threats of legal action, and the sharing of private financial information with others. If you’ve been intimidated or treated unfairly by a debt collector, Sugarman Law can take immediate legal action to protect you.
