Consumer Protection Law

Feb 28, 2025

The United States has clear consumer protection laws designed to safeguard individuals from unfair business practices. These laws ensure that products and services in the marketplace are safe and transactions are conducted fairly. If you have been a victim of debt collection harassment, car dealership disputes, misrepresentation of goods, defective or dangerous products, or other violations of consumer protection laws, you have the right to seek legal assistance.

If you live in the Austin, Texas area and are facing consumer-related legal issues, the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas (LRS) is here to help.

What is the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas (LRS)?

Recognizing Consumer Rights Violations

Consumer law can be complex, which is why consulting an experienced attorney is crucial. If you suspect that your consumer rights have been violated, do not hesitate to contact Austin LRS for guidance. Below are common consumer protection issues:

Misrepresentation of Goods

If you entered into an agreement with a company and paid for goods or services that were not delivered as promised or were misrepresented, you may have a claim.

Unorthodox Debt Collection Methods

Debt collectors who pose as government employees, attorneys, or use intimidation tactics, call at odd hours, or contact third parties may be violating consumer protection laws.

Student Loan Disputes

Issues related to account balances, defaults, loan discharges, treasury offsets, or wage garnishments may involve misrepresentation or unfair practices.

Defective and Dangerous Products

Companies that sell faulty products with inadequate warnings or instructions, making them unreasonably dangerous to users, may be held accountable under consumer protection laws.

Home Improvement Issues

Contractors who hide hidden fees, waivers, or misleading contract terms may be violating consumer laws related to home improvement projects.

Auto Repair Problems

Issues such as engine problems, maintenance failures, emissions challenges, or warranty coverage disputes can sometimes be considered consumer protection matters.
