Credit Score Lawyers

The three primary credit reporting agencies in the United States are Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. Each bureau uses complex matching algorithms to calculate the credit scores of millions of Americans. However, they frequently make mistakes while doing so. If you’re affected by a “mixed file case,” the credit score lawyers of Ramos Law can help.

Unfortunately, credit reporting agencies commit errors from time to time. If someone else’s Social Security number or other personal information is similar to yours, their credit history can sometimes become your credit history. Although there are a few situations where having a mixed file can be positive, they’re most often negative – especially if late payments, delinquencies, or bankruptcies are involved.

You don’t have to navigate the process alone. Our credit score attorneys are here to provide expert counsel and representation in your mixed file case. Contact us today to discuss your situation.

The Pitfalls of Mixed File Cases

Protecting your credit history is of utmost importance. Your reports determine whether you can obtain a loan, the borrowed amount, credit terms and interest rates, and the timeframe.

If another’s poor credit intertwines with your healthy score, your borrowing ability significantly lowers. For instance:

• Your interest rates can increase
• You could lose a job opportunity
• A landlord could refuse to rent to you
• Lenders could reject your loan application
• Your insurance premiums could rise

It’s imperative to consult with a credit score lawyer to prevent further damage. The attorneys at Ramos Law keep your best interests in mind when disputing credit errors. We utilize consumer protection laws and don’t stop fighting until your credit score is restored.

You’re Protected by Federal Law

Three federal laws protect consumers from unlawful business practices:

• The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows you to review and dispute incorrect information on credit reports and bring legal action against agencies.
• The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) regulates credit card companies and lets consumers dispute unfamiliar charges.
• The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) controls debt collection agencies and ensures they avoid harassment when collecting outstanding debts.

You have the right to dispute incorrect information. However, whether you dispute errors directly with the agency or the original creditor, they often won’t review them promptly.

That’s where our lawyers can help. We’ll leverage the law to correct mixed file mistakes and fight for your rights until the errors are rectified. We have the persistence, time, and resources to restore your credit to its previous state.

How Our Credit Score Attorneys Fix the Problem

Whenever a leading credit bureau makes a mistake resulting in a mixed file, the affected consumers must notify them of their error. Although contacting the credit bureaus by yourself may seem easy, the process can take months or even years to resolve. Without legal representation, you’ll be forced to pay higher interest rates and have restricted access to credit.

However, the credit score lawyers at Ramos Law know the right tactics when speaking with Transunion, Equifax, and Experian on your behalf. Frequently, the only type of communication the bureaus listen to is a lawsuit – which we will initiate effectively. We’ll work to end the confusion, frustration, and inconvenience resulting from their error.

Mixed File Resolution

Credit reporting errors don’t just affect the highly wealthy – anyone with a Social Security number can bear the brunt of mixed files. All it takes is a mismatched birthdate, mailing address, or name for an incorrect credit report to arise. When facing a mixed file case, you must seek expert assistance from credit score lawyers.

Our attorneys will work aggressively to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. While filing a lawsuit against the country’s largest credit bureaus may sound daunting, our team has you covered. We’ll handle the entire process for you, ensuring the agencies take responsibility for their mistakes and restore your credit records.
