Consumer Fraud & Protection
Fair Debt Collection Practices
Consumer fraud refers to deceptive business practices that cause consumers to suffer financial or other types of losses. Losing money or property to scams or due to deceptive advertising are examples of consumer fraud. Consumer fraud can occur once or be a part of a business’ practices or policies. While this type of fraud takes many forms, it is most common in situations where large institutions impose unjust charges or fail to provide expected benefits. Debt collectors also do not have the right to harass you in their efforts to collect a debt.
