Is your current or former Maryland landlord falsely reporting unpaid rent to credit reporting agencies like Experian, Equifax and TransUnion? If so, you may have a case under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

We’ve found that sometimes even after a judge rules in your favor and against the landlord, a landlord will still falsely claim an invalid debt on a tenant’s credit reports, greatly impacting the your credit score and ability to obtain loans. This can happen either directly or through a debt collector hired by the former landlord. You may have a good case that we can help you with, often without needing to charge you anything regardless of the outcome of the case because of fee shifting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which you can read more about here: fee shifting.
