Debt Collector and Debt Buyer Representation in FDCPA and FCRA Matters

Our experience and knowledge in FDCPA matters is first rate and we have prevailed in numerous cases, as well as quietly resolved hundreds of other cases. We know which cases to fight and which cases to settle, and we also know the settlement value for these cases. Our attorneys are licensed in several states and appear on a "case-by-case" basis in other jurisdictions across the country. We also have a proven network of local attorneys to appear in matters.

Two of our attorneys are authorized by ACA International to conduct collection notice reviews. Further, Moss & Barnett attorneys have extensive experience in representing debt buyers and debt collectors in state licensing and compliance matters.
