Who Is Sklar Law?

Sklar Law, LLC is a law firm at 1020 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 203, in Voorhees, New Jersey. It describes itself as a full-service creditors' rights firm working in three areas: creditors' rights (collections), landlord-tenant law and bankruptcy. The firm says it has represented clients since 1995, from national corporations to small local stores and individuals, in New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Its website lists memberships in groups such as the Commercial Law League of America and the National Creditors Bar Association, and states that the firm is a debt collector.

The firm's number is (856) 258-4050, and its hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern on weekdays. We did not find a CFPB enforcement action against Sklar Law.

Why Sklar Law May Be Contacting You

Sklar Law collects past-due balances its clients could not resolve themselves, and it often sues to do so. One testimonial on its home page comes from Hann Financial Services Corporation, which says it sends the firm balances it could not collect internally and that the firm obtains judgments on them. The firm's FAQ tells clients it generally recommends filing suit if a debtor does not resolve a claim at the outset, and explains that New Jersey claims under $15,000 go to the Special Civil Part.

So a letter from Sklar Law most often concerns a defaulted account with a lender or retailer, or unpaid rent or damages for a landlord, and may be a prelude to a lawsuit in New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

How to Check a Debt Sklar Law Says You Owe

• Read the validation notice for the client's name and an itemized balance (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
• Dispute in writing within the validation period and ask for the signed agreement, the account history, and any lease or move-out records for a rent claim. Our dispute guide covers what to include.
• Question attorney's fees and interest. The firm's own FAQ tells clients that attorney's fees are usually recoverable only with a signed agreement allowing them or a statute, and only if the creditor prevails. Check whether fees on your balance meet that test.
• Check the court docket. If you've been served, note the answer deadline right away; see what to do first if you're sued.
• Check the dates. In Texas, the limitation period for most debt suits is four years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). New Jersey and Pennsylvania have their own rules.

What Sklar Law Can and Can't Do

A firm that regularly collects consumer debts through letters and lawsuits is a "debt collector" under the FDCPA (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)). See can the collection law firm also be a debt collector?

• It may not collect attorney's fees, interest or costs that the contract or law does not authorize (15 U.S.C. § 1692f(1)).
• Its suits on consumer debts must be filed where you live or signed the contract (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
• Its letters cannot misstate the legal status of a debt, such as implying a judgment exists when none does (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)).
• Reg F caps calls at seven in seven days per debt (12 C.F.R. § 1006.14(b)(2)).

We Sue Debt Collectors That Break the FDCPA

Texas Debt Law files Fair Debt Collection Practices Act lawsuits against debt collectors in federal court for consumers in Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia and Colorado. If Sklar Law or anyone collecting for it harassed you, misstated what you owe, threatened action it could not take, or told others about your debt, you may have a claim. A court can order a collector that violated the FDCPA to pay your actual damages, up to $1,000 in additional statutory damages, and your attorney's fees and costs (15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)). An FDCPA claim generally must be filed within one year of the violation (§ 1692k(d)), so keep your letters, call logs, voicemails and screenshots, and talk to us early. Texas residents may also have claims under the Texas Debt Collection Act. Learn more from our FDCPA attorneys.
