What State and Federal Laws Defend Your Consumer Rights?

Part of our power to protect consumers like you is our knowledge of consumer protection laws that might apply to your case. When you approach us with a potential violation of your consumer rights, we’ll consider the details of your situation before determining which state or federal law the company broke.

Depending on your specific complaint and the types of companies involved, one or more of the following consumer protection laws might have been violated:

  • Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
  • Truth in Lending Act
  • Dodd-Frank Act
  • Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act
  • Consumer Product Safety Act
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
  • Federal Trade Commission Act
  • Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
  • Telephone Consumer Protection Act

These and other state and federal laws are in place to ensure businesses don’t get away with taking advantage of consumers through unfair practices, consumer fraud, harassment by debt collectors, and other violations of consumers’ rights. If you want to know which of these state and federal laws can be used to defend your rights regarding your specific situation, call our Illinois consumer protection lawyers for legal guidance.
