In June 2024, the client received an alert from Credit Karma and discovered multiple student loans listed on his credit report that he had never applied for. The fraud began shortly after he lost his wallet, which contained personal documents. Acting quickly, the client filed a police report and an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission.

Despite following all recommended steps, the client was met with indifference, delays, and inadequate responses from the institutions responsible for protecting his information.

When the client turned to Consumer Attorneys PLLC, Attorney Rubinov and his team conducted a comprehensive investigation. They uncovered clear evidence of the misuse of the client’s credentials, proved the loans were fraudulent, and pursued legal action to hold the responsible parties accountable.

The outcome was a complete victory:

* The fraudulent loans were discharged
* The client’s credit reports were corrected
* The client was awarded $159,000 in compensation for the harm suffered

"Even when consumers take the right steps after identity theft, they can still face resistance from the very institutions meant to protect them," said Rubinov. "Our mission is to make sure justice is secured and our clients are made whole."

Consumer Attorneys PLLC continues to fight for consumers facing credit reporting errors, identity theft, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act nationwide.
