Colorado state laws that govern the credit reporting system are actually designed to give the consumer a fighting chance against ‘bad’ creditors.

Osborne, PC can help you fight back against the false reports, restoring your credit worthiness and giving you back your peace of mind.
Here is an example of how a typical client is helped by the attorneys at Matthew R. Osborne, PC, in cases involving bad credit reporting:
Step 1: The consumer receives a false negative credit report from a creditor, with or without notification. Often, the unfounded credit ‘ding’ is a complete surprise that only surfaces when the consumer is applying for credit somewhere, and they’re unexpectedly denied.
Step 2: Under the guidance of the attorneys at Matthew R. Osborne, PC, the consumer submits a written notice of dispute to the issuer of the false report. The creditor in question then has a set period of time to correct the false credit report, often between 30 and 60 days.
Step 3: If the creditor does not take action by the lawful deadline, a lawsuit can be filed. This lawsuit will be led by the proven, trusted legal professionals at Matthew R. Osborne, PC, with updates provided to the consumer at every step.
Step 4: In most cases, a successful false credit reporting lawsuit can result in compensation for the debtor, reimbursement of attorney’s fees, or punitive damages for the creditor. Every case is different, and as such, results vary widely.
