Success Stories
- 🏆 “CBLC added illegal ‘processing fees’ to an old rental debt. Consumer Rights Law Firm PLLC attorneys cited the FTC’s case against Doxo Inc. as precedent and argued these were ‘junk fees’ under the FTC Act. They got CBLC to waive the debt entirely and refund the fees. Contingency-based representation meant no upfront costs. Highly recommend!”
- 🏆 “CBLC falsely reported a ‘credit bureau’ affiliation on collection letters, making me think they could ruin my credit score. The consumer rights team at Consumer Rights Law Firm PLLC Law showed they hadn’t been a real credit bureau since 2000, this was a deceptive practice under the FDCPA. The firm negotiated to remove the debt from my report and secured a $10,000 settlement. Their knowledge of Regulation F was key!”
- 🏆 “CBLC bombarded me with daily calls, including threats of legal action for a medical debt I’d already paid. I reached out to Consumer Rights Law Firm PLLC after finding their FDCPA expertise online. They proved CBLC violated the law by misrepresenting the debt and using abusive tactics. The firm filed a lawsuit under the FDCPA, and CBLC settled for $15,000 in damages plus attorney fees. Lifesavers!”
