Consumer protection is the area of law that affords rights to consumers. Examples of consumer protection concerns include product liability, privacy rights, deceptive or unfair business practices, fraud, credit matters, and misrepresentation, among others.

A number of state laws have been enacted to regulate consumer affairs, as well as federal laws including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, and the Fair Credit Billing Act.

The following are just a few examples of the ways in which a business may be in violation of consumer protection laws:

• Making express or implied false or misleading statements or representations about a product, service or transaction.
• Imposing an illegal or hidden charge, fee or rate
• Not disclosing important information about products, services or transactions
• Knowingly selling a product that is defective
• Failing to honor a written contract, guarantee, or warranty
• Failing to properly credit consumers’ accounts or requiring consumers to pay money they do not owe
