Practice Areas

Every year, hundreds of thousands of credit report errors, background check errors, and identity thefts occur, unbeknownst to consumers. Often, these errors are not discovered until the most vulnerable time, like when a consumer is pulling their credit score to secure a small business loan or funds for a new home or car, only to be denied because of inaccurate credit reporting information. Lawyer Matt Cook is a consumer law attorney in St. Charles, Missouri, and Chicago, Illinois. With his expertise, clients are able to reverse the devastating effects of credit inaccuracies, identity theft, false information on a background check, and debt collector harassment. Cook Law provides credit repair services and consumer protection law that restores your good name, cleans up your credit report, and, in many cases, wins damages against the parties responsible for your emotional distress.

  • Anyone who has false or inaccurate information on their credit report or background check
  • An employee who is applying for a job or has a job, and the employer requires them to pass a background check to obtain or keep their job. Once the employer obtains the background check of the potential employee, their information appears inaccurate, which prevents the employee from securing the job.
