Chicago Consumer Law Center (CCLC) helps people and families targeted by debt collectors and mortgage companies. At CCLC we help these people get back on their feet by helping them with their financial issues whether it’s being contacted, or sued, by a debt collector, inaccurate credit reporting, or difficulties with a mortgage company when applying for a loan modification. We want you to understand that the common person can go up against these financial companies and win. Rob Harrer. Helping people that are going through difficult financial times is a personal duty of Rob Harrer’s since he experienced tough times himself. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Rob headed a real estate development project to bring moderately priced housing to people that had lost their homes. During the real estate downturn Rob lost everything. Debt collectors were after him, he went through a foreclosure, and was finally forced to file for bankruptcy. But those dark times made Rob realize what he wanted to do with his life, he wanted to help people experiencing what he did. Because of this, CCLC’s mission is to use the law to improve and protect people’s financial well-being. We’ll help you not only with the single issue on your mind, but with all the other interconnected areas of consumer protection law that can help you, many of which most people don’t even know about.
