Why Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn May Be Contacting You

MJRF's public pages don't list its clients. As a collection law firm, it typically represents a creditor or debt owner that has placed a defaulted account with it. Its letters usually refer to an "MJRF File Number," which you'll need to use the payment site or discuss the account.

A letter from a law firm doesn't by itself mean you have been sued. But collection firms can file suit, so read every envelope. Court papers will have a court name, case or index number and a deadline to respond.

How to Check a Debt Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn Says You Owe

  • Identify the client. The validation notice (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34) must say who the current creditor is. If that's a debt buyer, also ask for the name of the original creditor.
  • Dispute before the deadline. A written dispute within the validation period requires the firm to stop collecting until it sends verification. Disputing doesn't extend a court deadline, though.
  • Request the paper trail. Ask for the last statement from the original creditor and, for a purchased account, the documents showing the transfer to the current owner.
  • Check the balance and the dates. Compare the itemization with your records, and figure out when you last paid. Texas generally allows four years to sue on consumer debts (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). New York and other states apply their own limitation periods.
