Northern Virginia Consumer Protection Lawyers
No business has the right to steal from you just because you don't know they're doing it. No creditor has the right to threaten you with jail just because you owe them some money. No lender has the right to cheat you out of your home equity by charging outrageous closing costs or fees. Consumer protection laws say so.
But no law will protect you by itself.
At THE THOMAS LAW FIRM, we know consumer protection law. More importantly, we can help you assert your rights and hold the businesses that have violated those rights fully accountable. In fact, you could collect money from them, as well as any costs or attorneys' fees associated with pursuing the claim.
Not sure if you've been taken advantage of or ripped off? You don't need to know the answer to that before you talk to a lawyer. Let us review the facts and explain your rights and options under the law. Knowledge is power. Call or contact our firm for a free consultation today.
Common Violations of Consumer Protection Laws
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and both state and federal "lemon laws" are all intended to protect consumers. Some of the more common violations our attorneys have seen include:
- Businesses selling cars or other products that are defective
- Auto dealerships rolling back odometers or failing to disclosure prior wrecks
- Debt collectors threatening to put you in jail or contact your friends or employer
- Creditors continuing to harass debtors in violation of bankruptcy's automatic stay
- Predatory mortgage lending
- Creditors failing to report that a debt is in dispute or that it has been discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
- Credit bureaus refusing to correct wrong information or failing to provide an explanation as to why they won't remove credit information
