Consumer Attorneys PLLC Wins $159,000 Settlement for Client

Consumer Attorneys PLLC proudly announces that Associate Attorney Meir Rubinov has secured a $159,000 settlement for a client whose identity was stolen and used to take out fraudulent student loans.

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, he was met with delays, indifference, and inadequate responses from the institutions responsible for safeguarding his information.

The client then turned to Consumer Attorneys for help. Attorney Rubinov and his team conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering clear evidence of the misuse of the client's credentials. They proved the loans were fraudulent and took decisive legal action.

The outcome was a complete victory: the fraudulent loans were discharged, the client's credit reports were corrected, and he was awarded $159,000 in compensation for the harm he suffered.

"Even when consumers take every step to protect themselves after identity theft, the system can still fail them," said Rubinov. "Our job is to hold institutions accountable and make sure our clients are made whole."

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