As if it’s not bad enough that your identity has been stolen, now you’re being harassed by a creditor for debt incurred by the thief. You’ve informed them of the identity theft, but they are continuing to come after you. Can anything be done? You bet! It’s time to call me to help you end this nightmare and hold the creditor or debt collector liable for harassing you.
California Law Entitles You to Compensation
Your first step when a creditor contacts you about a fraudulent debt is to inform them of the theft and to order them to stop contacting you about the debt. If you haven’t already done that, I can help you—and there are no fees involved! If they continue to come after you, I can help you file a lawsuit. Under California law, a successful lawsuit can get you all of the following:
- A declaration from the creditor or debt collector stating that you are not obligated to them for the claim.
- A declaration from the creditor stating that any interest they had obtained in relation to the fraudulent claim is void and unenforceable.
- A restraining order against the creditor to stop them from attempting to collect on the claim.
- The dismissal of any cause of action the creditor has against you.
- Actual damages, attorney fees, other costs, and “equitable relief” as determined by the court.
- Civil penalties of up to $30,000.
You read that right! You could be entitled to up to $30,000 in damages from the creditor or debt collector who has been harassing you about a fraudulent debt. However, you will need my help to establish the following:
- You notified the creditor at least 30 days before filing suit that you were the victim of identity theft.
- The creditor failed to investigate your claim of identity theft.
- The creditor continued to pursue its claim against you, even after being presented with evidence that the debt was fraudulent.
