Consumer Protection
The Law Protects Consumers
Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL) is a law that protects consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices. The law prohibits businesses from engaging in a variety of practices, including:
False or misleading advertising: This includes making false claims about a product or service, or failing to disclose important information about a product or service.
Deceptive pricing: This includes charging a higher price than advertised, or failing to disclose hidden fees or charges.
Bait-and-switch tactics: This involves advertising a product at a low price, but then refusing to sell the product or only selling it at a higher price.
Unfair contract terms: This includes terms that are unreasonably one-sided in favor of the business, or that violate the consumer's rights.
Violations of privacy rights: This includes collecting or using personal information without the consumer's consent.
If you believe that you have been a victim of an unfair trade practice, you may be able to file a complaint with the state or federal government. You may also be able to file a lawsuit against the business that engaged in the unfair practice.
If you are considering filing a lawsuit, it is important to speak with an attorney who specializes in UTPCPL law. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options, and can represent you in court.
