Consumer pROTECTION
McCarty and Raburn is a consumer law firm that uses litigation to help consumers with credit reporting errors. Unlike so many other law firms, we limit our practice to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act cases. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) are federal statutes that deal with consumer protection. The FCRA regulates the Credit Reporting Agencies (CRA) and the companies that report data to them. The CRA’s are required to maintain policies and procedures to ensure consumer data is reported with maximum possible accuracy. It also requires the Credit Reporting Agencies to perform investigations when consumers, or their attorneys, alert them to inaccurate information on consumer credit reports. TransUnion, Equifax, Experian and LexusNexis are four of the largest Credit Reporting Agencies.
Our compassionate attorneys and staff at McCarty & Raburn will do our ethical best to help you recover for the adverse effects of credit reporting errors. We are here to help.

About Us
What Sets McCarty & Raburn Apart
The three major credit reporting agencies produce credit reports and scores based on the information in a consumer’s credit file. Sometimes, information not belonging to you may appear on your credit report. This inaccurate information could include credit applications or denials not belonging to you, or the information could be more personal in nature, such as an inaccurate social security number or date of birth. Additionally, you might see collection accounts or credit cards on your credit report that do not belong to you. Inaccurate information appearing on your credit report could imply an identity theft issue or that the consumer’s file has been mixed with that of another person. File mixing occurs when information that should appear on one consumer’s credit file is erroneously placed on the credit file of another consumer. Unfortunately, file mixing issues can be very difficult to correct and more common than you might think. One credit reporter estimates that up to six million Americans have mixed credit files.
It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of your credit report. You can do this by checking your credit report regularly. If you notice inaccurate information on your credit report, you should consider hiring an attorney. Consumers that have suffered damages because of a mixed credit file, have the right to make a claim for damages in Federal Court. Our law firm can help. With a combined 37 years of experience, our attorneys at McCarty & Raburn, A Consumer Law Firm, PLLC, have successfully represented victims of credit reporting errors.
