What most people don't know about Stillman Law Office:
Licence CCA9904461 is the Florida consumer collection agency (CCA) registration filed by Stillman, P.C. Corp., and the address of record on it is Farmington Hills, Michigan. The filing places the office in Oakland County. Florida first approved the registration in November 2020, and the current approved status took effect in November 2025. The same filing registers the trade name STILLMAN LAW OFFICE — that is often the wording that actually shows up on a letter or a credit-report tradeline, rather than the legal name. A search of the CFPB consumer complaint database returns no debt-collection complaints under this company name, so there is no federal complaint pattern to weigh — the written validation notice is the document that matters here.
Why Is Stillman Law Office on My Credit Report?
Stillman, P.C. Corp. typically collects litigated consumer accounts, bank card debt, deficiency balances. A collection like this usually lands on your report because:
- ✅ An original account (a litigated consumer accounts, for example) went unpaid and was charged off.
- ✅ The account was placed with Stillman, P.C. Corp. to collect on behalf of the original creditor.
- ✅ Stillman, P.C. Corp. furnished the account to one or more of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).
Important: a collection account on its own does not prove you owe the debt or that the amount is correct. That's where your rights come in.
Your Rights When Stillman Law Office Contacts You
Federal law — the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) — gives you powerful tools. Here is the playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Stillman Law Office a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is correct, and they have the legal right to collect. If they can't, they must stop collecting and it should come off your report.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
You can dispute the Stillman Law Office tradeline directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate. If the account can't be verified, the law requires it be deleted or corrected.
3. Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that Stillman Law Office stop contacting you. They can still report and sue, but they must stop calls and letters — useful for stopping harassment while you build your case.
4. Pay-for-Delete (in writing only)
If the debt is valid and yours, you may negotiate to pay in exchange for deletion of the tradeline. Never pay on a verbal promise — get the pay-for-delete agreement in writing first.
5. Statute of Limitations
Every state has a time limit on how long a collector can sue you for a debt. If the debt is "time-barred," Stillman Law Office can still ask for payment but generally cannot win a lawsuit — and making a payment can dangerously restart the clock.
6. Protection From Harassment
The FDCPA bars Stillman Law Office from calling at unreasonable hours, threatening you, or lying. Every violation is potential leverage — and may entitle you to damages.

Is Stillman, P.C. Corp. a scam or a legitimate company?

Should I pay Stillman, P.C. Corp. or dispute it first?

Most negative collection accounts can remain on your credit report for up to seven years from the original delinquency date — not from when Stillman, P.C. Corp. acquired or began collecting it. If the account is being "re-aged" to look newer, that is a reporting violation you can dispute.
Will Stillman, P.C. Corp. sue me?
Some collectors and debt buyers do file lawsuits, especially before the statute of limitations expires. If you are served, do not ignore it. Validate the debt, check whether it is time-barred in your state, and get help. Because this type of entity is more likely to litigate, acting early matters.
