Common questions
What is a deceptive trade practice?
Generally, a false or misleading statement or omission that is likely to influence a consumer’s decision — fake discounts, hidden fees, bait-and-switch advertising, or misrepresenting a product’s nature. State statutes define the specifics and available remedies.
Can I sue over harassing debt collector calls?
Possibly. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act bars collectors from harassment, false threats, calling at unreasonable hours, and continuing to contact you after a written cease request. Violations can yield statutory damages plus attorney’s fees.
What if I bought a lemon car?
Many states have lemon laws for new vehicles with repeated unfixable defects, plus federal warranty protections. Remedies can include repurchase or replacement. Used-car buyers have fewer protections, but fraud and warranty claims may still apply.
Is it worth suing over a small amount?
Sometimes — many consumer statutes provide minimum statutory damages and attorney’s fees precisely so small claims are viable. Small claims court is another option for modest disputes without a lawyer.
