Consumer Protection Advocates: Where Can Consumers Turn?

Posted on

In this day and age, it can often feel like the trustworthiness and confidence boost of a firm seal-the-deal handshake is a thing of the past. Knowing how to navigate the marketplace and protecting yourself against shady or unethical business practices can be an overwhelming task.

Between 2019 and 2020 the number of fraud, identity theft, and other reports analyzed by the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection rose more than 45%.

As consumer protection advocates, we are here to protect you and your rights against these types of dishonest business tactics. Continue reading to find out how to ensure your protection in the landscape of this ever-changing marketplace.

What Is a Consumer Protection Advocate?

While the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau maintain the task of enforcing the laws and holding businesses accountable when they are found to be in violation, what does consumer protection mean?

It is the job of a consumer protection advocate to not only assist you in knowing your rights, but to also stand on your side when you feel these rights have been violated. The goal is simple: To protect consumers like you from unethical business practices and to also ensure the safety of their private personal data.

Common Violations

The ways in which many less than reputable businesses have found to take advantage of the everyday consumer are innumerable. The FTC is responsible for enforcing more than 70 consumer protection laws. Among other types of fraud, some of the common cases we see are:

  • Harassment from debt collectors
  • Predatory lending
  • False advertising
  • Data breaches

Have My Rights Been Violated?

It can seem that our consumer rights could be violated at any time.  Answering the wrong phone call or clicking on the wrong email could result in any number of scams. Every year new precedents are set in courtrooms across the country as the demand for consumer protection rises.

The dilemma for the everyday consumer is that they find themselves stuck in the middle trying to make sense of the situation. On one side they have the business entity they feel that has let them down or treated them unfairly. On the other, they face a myriad of legalities, that while there to protect them, can often confuse and deter them from seeking help when it’s needed.
