As United States citizens, all American consumers are granted rights which protect them against malicious business practices. As such, there are various laws in place at both state and federal levels which regulate affairs concerning consumers. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, Fair Credit Billing Act, and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act all serve to protect consumers from a variety of unfair corporate actions such as fraud and deception. If you feel that you have been the victim of an act that violated your consumer rights, an experienced consumer protection lawyer can help uphold your rights.
