EN ES Choose Legal Issue

Choose the right starting point

Consumer protection help and review requests

Describe the product, account or transaction and what you have already disputed. Distinguish a credit-reporting problem from a collection lawsuit, identity theft event or disputed purchase.

Reasons to seek consumer protection help

  • Debt collection harassment
  • Credit report error lawyer
  • Identity theft legal help
  • Consumer fraud review
  • Repossession dispute

These examples describe inquiries, not findings that a claim is valid or that representation is available.

Prepare for a useful first conversation

  1. Company and transaction type
  2. Dispute letters and response dates
  3. Any lawsuit, repossession or collection notice

Start with this question

What correction or response have you requested, and what did the company say?

Provide a brief factual summary. Keep financial account numbers, identity documents, medical records and other sensitive files for a secure exchange with a professional who agrees to review the matter.
