Free credit report
Your Right to a Free Credit Report
Every consumer is granted the right to a free copy of their credit report from each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies under the 2003 Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act, which amended the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The goal of these laws is to make sure consumers are informed, treated fairly, and given the chance to identify and fight identity theft. Along with a free report once a year, you are also entitled to a free credit report if:- A company has taken adverse action against you, such as denying an application for credit, insurance, or employment,
- You are unemployed and want to look for work in the next 60 days,
- You are on welfare,
- Your report has mistakes due to fraud or identity theft.
What You Need to Obtain Your Free Credit Report
You will need to provide your:- Name,
- Address,
- Social Security number, and
- Date of birth.
Beware of Impostor Websites
Only www.AnnualCreditReport.com is authorized to take orders for the free annual credit report you are entitled to under federal law. Any other website that promises a free credit report, credit score, or credit monitoring is not a part of the legally mandated program. In some cases, the “free” report or product may also come with strings attached. If you have to provide your credit or debit card information at all, the service is not free, and you are most likely enrolling in a free trial period for a subscription service.How Often Should You Check Your Credit Report?
It is crucial that you check your credit report at least once a year to correct errors and to detect unauthorized activity. Once again, the information in your credit report affects whether or not you get a loan, and it determines your interest rate when you do get a loan. The information also affects insurance, renting a home, and even getting a job. Therefore, you want to make sure the information in your credit report is accurate, complete, and up-to-date before you apply for a loan or a credit card, before you apply for a job, before you apply for insurance, and before you submit a rental application. Finally, monitoring your credit report will help guard against identity theft. Contact Agruss Law Firm, LLC, for help receiving a copy of your free credit report. More importantly, contact Agruss Law Firm, LLC, for help disputing inaccurate information in your credit report. We have helped thousands of consumers. We would like to help you, too.We are listening.

over 3 years agoI'm very pleased that there are good attorneys out there that can fight for people like me. She did a great job helping me fight my case. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. Yes I would like to thank them personally as I will send them a great recommendation. It's great to have lawyers that care about the people. Some lawyers or attorneys just care about money or getting paid. These attorneys that helped me cared about me more than that. I will be sending an email directly to them thanking them for helping me win my case. It's nice to have attorneys and lawyers that won't quit fighting for a persons case til it's won!

over 3 years agoI believe I am being harassed by debt collector, I have no idea who they are. They have called my work with only a recorded message. The call is from a 716-816-3556 number out of NY but they always leave a return callback number at 844-952-7351. They have called and left the same message just stating that there are legal charges pending against me and that I need to call back the 844 number with a reference number. They called with a 'live' person this morning who identified himself as Mike Williams with the State of Tennessee Legal Services department and told me that they would be out to serve me papers this afternoon between 2 and 4. He told me to call the 844709-9833 number to discuss the case pending against me. I am a victim of identity theft and I am 100% sure this is something related to that. There is no "State of Tennessee Legal Services" either. I googled and started calling and no one knows of that group!

over 3 years agoI in need of legal help with a debt dispute/violation of my rights. The reason I am filing this complaint is due to the company unfair debt collection practices. nOn or about August 21, 2014, I return said call to Frontier Financial Group who informs me my debt was transfer to them. I was told I owed $487.50. The person on the phone also threaten to take legal action against me if I don't pay them. Furthermore, my debt was with Lighthouse Recovery Associates. I was making monthly payments to them until one of my payments was return due to the company closing down. The company telephone number was disconnected also. Lastly, when I received notice from Frontier Financial Group for payment I requested them to validate the debt. Instead of the company properly validating the debt, they sent me type letter as a form of validation.§ 807. False or misleading representations [15 USC 1692e] (5) The threat to take any action that cannot legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken. That the debt be eliminated as paid in full. The letter copied into the chat is what happen. I filed a copy with the consumer financial protection bureau!

over 3 years agoI sent an inquiry to the website,but I am currently being harassed by a debt collection agency by the name of Dynamic recovery solutions,regarding a debt that was included in my bankruptcy nearly 20 years ago,,,they also threatened charges to be filed against me claiming that I have committed fraud. I also saved the threatening message from them on my voicemail, not sure,,,I'm just confused as to how this collection agency thinks its ok to threaten people like this,,,especially on a debt that was discharges through a bankruptcy nearly 20 years ago,,,it seems to me that the course of action that they are taking is no less than criminal,,although I am not a legal expert,,,the situation is very upsetting to say the leas!
