Are you being sued for a debt that isn't even yours?

How to Protect Yourself from Identity Theft Lawsuits in PA and NJ

For years, I have helped clients fight back against lawsuits for credit cards they never opened. Maybe it’s an account you’ve never seen. Maybe it was opened years ago, sold again and again, and now—suddenly—you’re being sued. You show up to court and someone accuses you of being dishonest, and owing money, without ever proving the debt is really yours.

At Ames Law Group, we take these cases seriously. If you're being sued for a debt you don’t recognize—whether in Pennsylvania or New Jersey—we can help.

We represent clients across Philadelphia County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County, Chester County, All counties in South Jersey and throughout the entire state of New Jersey.

Here’s what you should do immediately:

1. File a police report. Even if the charges are old, you need to be able to say you reported the identity theft.

2. Dispute the debt with all three credit bureaus by telling them that you have no knowledge of the account. Request proof of the person who made the purchases on the account.

3. Get legal help fast. Don’t try to explain it away in court on your own—the other side is counting on that.

We know the signs of identity theft. We know what to say, what to file, and how to fight back in court. These companies often show up with a stack of statements—but no proof of how the account started, who used it, or whether it was even yours.
