Hi Chris, After reviewing our intake files, it looks like we spent time and effort investigating your claim and came to the conclusion that you don't really have any notable damages at the moment, so a lawsuit isn't appropriate. And we didn't charge for any of the consultation, investigation, or attorney review, as promised. Calling our devoted intake team trash for helping to figure out that you don't really have an actionable problem is a pretty intense response. We understand that an error on one of your credit reports is a violation of the law, and that a refusal by TransUnion to correct the error is a violation of the law, but since you haven't really been harmed by the error (especially since the other two credit bureaus are reporting correct info), there's insufficient damages to warrant a lawsuit at this time. (That could change in the future of course.) We suggest bringing your claim to another law firm for a second opinion, then maybe grabbing a coffee or taking a nap. For the record, we love our intake team. They do a fantastic job for everyone who calls.

Hi M. Moore. We understand your frustration with being turned down by our firm (or any firm). When you feel stuck in a situation without an obvious fix, seeking legal help is usually the path forward. Unfortunately, sometimes, there isn't enough supporting evidence to proceed with a legal claim.  While it may have felt like we put you through the wringer to provide documentation, it is a testament to how thorough and comprehensive we are in reviewing the available evidence. We leave no stone unturned before deciding, so we feel confident in our ultimate conclusion, which is made by an attorney well-versed in the issues in question. The good news for you is that even though we felt there were insufficient grounds to pursue a legal claim at this time, all of the information you gathered can be taken to any other law firm of your choosing. They will need to review the same information and may come to a different conclusion than we did. Regardless, we wish you the best of luck in resolving your situation soon.

Hi Fabz, We responded to this same review you left on other platforms, but we'll also respond here. Without more information, we can't review your intake file to assess whether you were working with us and whether we could have changed anything about the circumstances of your initial review. Having said that, when you work with a law firm on a financial and credit-related matter, providing your Social Security Number is par for the course. If you have a data dispute, your correct data (including SSN) has to be identified and matched against the mistakes, and relevant information has to be gathered. Not providing this information is an impediment to pursuing a legal claim. We wish you the best of luck in getting your situation resolved! Consumer Attorneys

Hi Consumer, Without identifying information, we can’t cross reference your post with a client intake. But we’ll try to clear up what we can, generally. We DO help with consumer reporting errors involving The Retail Equation, but only those that fall within the purview of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. So sometimes, despite how frustrating your dealings with The Retail Equation are, it isn’t necessarily considered an actionable claim by our legal intake team. We encourage you to take your potential claim to another law firm to see if it falls within the scope of cases they might pursue. Our legal blog provides information regarding common problems with The Retail Equation, including discussing methods of proactively protecting yourself (if possible), offering insight into the dispute process, and mentioning that some consumers have sought relief through a class action. We think there’s a lot of helpful information in it! We wish you luck in resolving your data issues. All the best, Consumer Attorneys

Hi Teeroo, We requested more information from you to try to make sense of this review but haven't received a response. Without more information or some clarity on what you're talking about, this review doesn't seem relevant to working with our law firm. We wish you the best.

Hi Melissa, We reviewed your intake to see where we might have gone wrong. It looks like you contacted us in March of 2024 with a suspicion that something adverse from another state might have been reported on your background check, resulting in you getting turned down for a position with one of the ride-share brands. However, when we reviewed the report, we determined that your background check was clean. So...sorry? If having the nation's largest consumer reporting law firm earnestly investigate your inquiry, review your consumer reports, and determine that everything is fine (without charging you a single dollar) makes us "trash" in your eyes, may we suggest a shift in perspective? We wish you the best going forward. Consumer Attorneys

Hi Lisa, Because of our size, nationwide coverage, and your partial anonymity, we did our best to link your review with the correct client intake file. It looks like we reviewed your reports, which did show erroneous personal information, but declined to pursue the claim for several reasons, one of which was the fact that SageStream’s decision was influenced by several factors unrelated to data errors. While we appreciate that every potential claim is significant to the individual struggling to correct the erroneous information, not every case contains the factual and legal foundation to warrant pursuing a lawsuit. It never feels good to turn down a potential client, but we make these decisions to the best of our ability after investigating the claim thoroughly. Hopefully, there’s some solace in the fact that the nation’s largest consumer reporting law firm investigated your claim, helped gather and review evidence, and provided a dispute letter with instructions on next steps, and you weren’t billed for even a single penny of our time, effort, and costs. We appreciate that it is incredibly frustrating to be in a position of trying to clear your record and feeling like the process is labyrinthian at times. We hope your continued efforts pay off. Best of luck with everything. Consumer Attorneys

Hi Paul. Our least favorite thing to do is turn down potential clients. It's not a decision we come to without great consideration. After you left this review, we requested more information from you but haven't received any to date. We know being turned down by our firm (or any firm) can be very frustrating. When you feel stuck in a situation without an obvious fix, seeking legal help is usually the path forward. Unfortunately, sometimes, we have to pass on a particular claim for any number of reasons, including lack of sufficient supporting evidence, facts that fall outside the scope of the law, statutes of limitations, etc. We come to these decisions after careful consideration of the facts, the evidence, and the law. The good news for you is that you can take your potential claim to any other law firm of your choosing. They may come to a different conclusion than we did. Regardless, we wish you the best of luck in resolving your situation soon.
