Cook County Fair Debt Collections Attorney
If a bill collector or creditor has violated your rights under the provisions of the federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) or Illinois state law, you are entitled to seek significant compensation for punitive damages and all financial costs and losses incurred as a result of their illegal actions. This includes seeking money damages for lost wages that may have resulted from loss of employment if your employer was notified illegally. It also includes an additional amount for legal fees and costs you incur because of the lawsuit.
