Consumer Protection Suffolk County
Protecting Consumers from Credit Errors and Debt Harassment
When debt collectors cross the line or credit bureaus report false information, your finances and reputation can suffer. At Sugarman Law P.C., we help Suffolk County residents enforce their rights under federal consumer protection laws and stop abusive practices for good.
Our firm represents clients facing credit reporting inaccuracies, debt collection harassment, and unfair financial treatment. Whether you’ve been sued by a debt collector, received threatening calls, or discovered false information on your credit report, our attorneys can help.
Your Rights Under the FCRA and FDCPA
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
The FCRA gives you the right to review your credit report and demand accuracy. If you find errors, credit bureaus must correct them. When they fail to do so, we take legal action to make it right.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
The FDCPA protects you from harassment, intimidation, and deceptive collection tactics. This includes excessive phone calls, false threats, or attempts to contact your family or employer. If a collector violates these rules, you may be entitled to damages.
Our team helps clients use both laws to correct credit issues, stop harassment, and rebuild financial peace of mind.

Planning for the future is more than just preparing documents — it's an opportunity to leave a meaningful legacy.
Our Free Ethical Will Planning Guide is designed to help you communicate your personal values, life lessons, and heartfelt wishes to your loved ones.

This guide walks you through how to express what's most important to you — your beliefs, hopes, advice, and the stories that shaped your life. It’s more than planning — it’s a lasting gift to those you care about most.
