Frequently Asked Questions

Horowitz Law PLLC represents consumers who have suffered financial or reputational harm due to credit reporting errors (FCRA), abusive or deceptive debt collection practices (FDCPA), and unauthorized bank account transactions or electronic fraud (EFTA). We handle cases involving identity theft, mixed credit files, inaccurate background checks, and tenant screening errors.
Yes. While the firm is based in New York, we represent consumers throughout the United States. Federal consumer protection statutes apply nationwide, allowing us to advocate for clients across all 50 states.
No. The firm provides a free, confidential initial case evaluation. We will review your situation and the documentation you provide to determine if you have a viable claim under federal law.
On qualifying consumer protection cases, there are no upfront fees. Many federal consumer protection statutes include fee-shifting provisions, meaning that if we win or settle your case, the opposing companies are responsible for paying our legal fees and costs. We only get paid if you obtain a recovery.
If you have disputed credit errors with a credit bureau (like Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) and they failed to fix them, if you are being harassed or threatened by a debt collector, or if your bank refused to reimburse you for unauthorized electronic transactions, you likely have a claim under federal law. Contact us for a full evaluation.
It is helpful to have copies of any relevant credit reports, dispute letters, collection notices, bank statements, or correspondence related to your situation. However, you do not need to have everything prepared before reaching out.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, the cooperation of the opposing party, and whether a lawsuit must be filed. Some disputes can be resolved in a matter of weeks, while formal federal litigation may take several months or longer. We work efficiently to seek a prompt resolution.
While past results do not guarantee future outcomes, our goal is to correct the inaccurate information, stop any unlawful collection activity, and recover compensation for actual damages, emotional distress, and statutory penalties where allowed by law.
