Consumer Rights Protection Laws
In the U.S., there are a number of state and federal laws that protect consumers from unfair dealings, defective products, and other abuses you may incur when securing goods and services. At The Childress Law Office, we represent consumers and businesses affected by consumer protection laws.
What are Consumer Protection Laws?
Consumer rights protection laws are in place to ensure that consumers are protected from businesses and organizations that could otherwise take advantage of them. In addition, consumer protection tort laws regulate businesses and help prevent businesses engaging in unfair practices from gaining an advantage over their more vulnerable competitors.
At The Childress Law Office, we have experience with many types of consumer protection arbitrations and lawsuits (on behalf of businesses and consumers) including:
- Premises liability claims involving land and real property, personal injuries, crimes and inadequate security.
- Lawsuits against apartment projects and mobile home parks for nuisances, inadequate maintenance or billing practices.
- Civil rights claims under the Fair Housing Act.
- Claims against creditors and debt-collection agencies pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
- Suits against predatory lenders such as car dealers, “payday lenders,” or others for failure to comply with the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other consumer-protection statutes.
- Suits against home and vehicle service companies for refusing to pay for covered repairs or maintenance pursuant to consumer warranty contracts.
- Suits against realtors and mortgage brokers for deceptive or fraudulent real estate schemes.
- Lawsuits against DirecTV for abusive billing practices.
The New Mexico Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau each administer a consumer complaint program whereby the agency will contact a business for a customer and request an application. If possible, the agency will mediate a resolution to the dispute. For many types of consumer complaints, it can be very helpful to attempt a resolution through these agencies before contacting a private attorney.
