Indianapolis Credit Reporting Law Firm

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (the FCRA), a federal statute passed in 1970 to regulate the collection and use of consumer credit information, requires consumer reporting agencies (also known as credit reporting agencies or credit bureaus) to maintain the “maximum possible accuracy” of the credit information they collect and use to create consumer reports (also known as credit reports). When a consumer reporting agency fails to maintain this level of accuracy and errors occur, this federal law gives consumers the right to dispute information in their credit files and, when necessary, bring suit against those agencies and the furnishers of credit information to those agencies, to recover damages for those inaccuracies and errors.

Court hearings in Jefferson County's record-setting bankruptcy filing are scheduled to resume Thursday. The Birmingham News reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Bennett is expected to consider a variety of motions.

Jefferson County filed the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history last year over more than $4 billion in debt. Most of the debt stems from borrowing to pay for upgrades to the county's sewer system.

This week, a group of Alabama lawmakers, Jefferson County commissioners and health care professionals met privately to discuss ways to address the county's general fund crisis and other matters.

The Birmingham News reports the three-hour meeting at Vestavia Hills City Hall included Commission President David Carrington; Republican state Rep. Paul DeMarco of Homewood; and Republican state Sen. Jabo Waggoner of Vestavia Hills.

Participants said Tuesday's meeting was the latest in a series of behind-the-scenes efforts among commissioners, Jefferson County legislators, business leaders and others to find ways to solve the county's massive general fund woes.

The former controller for imprisoned financier Bernard Madoff blamed him Monday for directing her to deceive investors, regulators and the Internal Revenue Service as she pleaded guilty to conspiracy and other charges.

"I did not know that Madoff and others were stealing investors' money," Enrica Cotellessa-Pitz said as she entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, becoming the sixth person to plead guilty and admit a role in a fraud that Madoff claimed he carried out alone. "For that, I am terribly sorry."

Cotellessa-Pitz , 53, said she wanted investors and the public to know that she is cooperating fully with prosecutors. Besides conspiracy, she pleaded guilty to falsifying books and records and making false filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The charges carry a potential of up to 50 years in prison for a woman who admitted a major role in the multi-decade fraud that cheated thousands of investors out of the roughly $20 billion they invested with a man whose once-sterling reputation on Wall Street caused many people to feel honored to be allowed to rest their money with his private investment business.

Cotellessa-Pitz said she started working at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in 1978 while she was studying economics in college. She was named controller in late 1998. She said Madoff and others within months were directing her to put false entries in the company's books to make it appear profitable trades were being made and that losses were not incurred.

In mid-August of 2007, the Detroit Free Press printed a huge headline, FIEGER VS. U.S. At the time, they got it wrong; the US Government had actually indicted Geoffrey Fieger, one of the nation’s most successful trial lawyers, and his partner, Ven Johnson, for violating campaign finance laws.

But on June 2, 2008, after a 20-day trial, with Fieger represented by famed defense attorney Gerry Spence, jurors unanimously rejected the government’s felony charges – and acquitted and vindicated Geoff Fieger and Ven Johnson, because prosecutors failed to prove that they illegally channeled money to the failed 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards.

And, on that same day, the Detroit Free Press finally got it right and printed another huge headline, FIEGER IS CLEARED IN CAMPAIGN FUND CASE.

Today, The Insider Exclusive takes you behind the scenes of the indictment, the Bush Administration’s selective political prosecution of Geoffrey Fieger, the winning legal strategies employed by Gerry Spence and Steve Fishman to decisively defeat and crush the government at a Waterloo of their own making.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.That fact is as valid oday, as it was when it was written in 1870 by Sir John Acton, who reminded Pope Pius IX that he was a mere mortal man! Today, Geoff Fieger walks taller and more resolute than ever before, for having taken on “Absolute Power” and won – a victory of the power of truth and justice. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “We acquire the strength we have overcome.” Geoff has overcome that strength, and today, he uses it for all those in need of justice.
