AREAS OF PRACTICE:
Personal Injury:
If you were injured in an accident, you may be legally entitled to recover for:
Lost Wages
Medical Bills
Pain and Suffering
Car Repairs
Employment Litigation
Although Kentucky is an employment "at-will" state, it is illegal to fire someone because of race, color, sex, pregnancy, religion, age (over 40), or disability. In most cases, an employer may not discharge its employee for getting sick or hurt on the job or for refusing to break state law.
Unfair debt collection:
Unfair or abusive debt collection is ILLEGAL. A debt collector may not:
use obscene, profane, or abusive language;
misrepresent the character, amount, or legal status of any debt;
falsely represent or imply that a communication is from an attorney;
threaten to take action that is illegal or not intended to be taken;
communicate false credit information;
communicate with third parties about a debt;
collect any amount that is not authorized by agreement or permitted by law, including interest, fees, charges, or expenses; and,
use language on any envelope, other than the debt collector's address and in some cases, its business name.
Credit Repair:
Federal law provides mechanisms for correcting errors in credit reports. Negative items, even if accurate, must be deleted after a period of time.
Trying to remove old, false, or misleading information in credit reports can be daunting. It may overwhelm those unfamiliar with the vast ocean of federal law, regulations, and court rules that govern consumer credit reporting. The attorneys at Taylor Couch help people navigate those treacherous waters to reclaim their credit.
