186 debt-collection complaints naming The Moore Law Group appear in the CFPB's public Consumer Complaint Database, which lists the Santa Ana company as an active collector.

Why Is The Moore Law Group on My Credit Report?
The Moore Law Group typically collects accounts referred for legal collection, consumer accounts. A collection like this usually lands on your report because:
- ✅ An original account (a accounts referred for legal collection, for example) went unpaid and was charged off.
- ✅ The account was placed with The Moore Law Group to collect on behalf of the original creditor.
- ✅ The Moore Law Group 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 The Moore Law Group 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 The Moore Law Group 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 The Moore Law Group 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 The Moore Law Group 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," The Moore Law Group 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 The Moore Law Group from calling at unreasonable hours, threatening you, or lying. Every violation is potential leverage — and may entitle you to damages.

The Moore Law Group — Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Moore Law Group a scam or a legitimate company?
The Moore Law Group is a real, registered collection law firm headquartered in Santa Ana, CA.

Can The Moore Law Group be removed from my credit report?
Yes — inaccurate, unverifiable, or improperly reported The Moore Law Group collection accounts can be removed.

Should I pay The Moore Law Group or dispute it first?

How long can The Moore Law Group report this debt?
Most negative collection accounts can remain on your credit report for up to seven years from the original delinquency date — not from when The Moore Law Group acquired or began collecting it. If the account is being "re-aged" to look newer, that is a reporting violation you can dispute.
Will The Moore Law Group 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.
