Consumer fraud is generally an unfair, fraudulent, or illegal business practice that enriches someone at the expense of a consumer. This type of consumer fraud can occur in many different market segments, including banking, consumer products and services, insurance, manufacturing and distribution with defective products, and telemarketing.

Examples of deceptive practices involving consumers often involve:

Undisclosed or unauthorized early termination fees. These are often seen in areas involving cable, cellphone, phone, satellite television, or other everyday consumer products and services.
Undisclosed or unauthorized credit card or bank charges, as seen in credit card statements, bank statements, phone bills, or utility bills.
Insurance, banking, or financial investments that do not accurately or thoroughly disclose surrender charges and penalties.
Undisclosed and unauthorized charges by equipment leasing companies and rental car companies.
Prepaid phone, credit, and debit cards that do not allow consumers to enjoy the full value of the purchased ticket.
False and misleading advertising by product manufacturers, food manufacturers, vitamin manufacturers, car and vehicle manufacturers, and others.

Waco Consumer Protection Lawyers

Our Waco consumer protection attorneys represent consumers against companies who violate federal and state laws. Consumer actions can arise from many different kinds of wrongful conduct by sellers, manufacturers, debt collectors, financial institutions, and other companies. Some of the more common types of illegal conduct include:

Billing Fraud. Unfair and deceptive billing practices, such as improper auto-renewal charges and hidden fees;
False Advertising. Misleading or untrue statements regarding a product or service, such as misleading product labeling, false representations about product features, or misleading information regarding product pricing.
Unfair Bank and Lender Practices. Hidden charges, overcharges, or other improper charges by banks, lenders, and other financial institutions;
Unfair Debt Collection Practices. Deceptive and abusive tactics in collecting debts, such as misrepresenting the amount or status of the debt, undue pressure to pay, etc.
Robocalls and Spam. Unsolicited calls, text messages, and faxes by companies violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Consumer actions are often pursued as class actions, depending on the company’s wrongful conduct and the number of people impacted. Because there is strength in numbers, individuals can use class actions to enforce the law and obtain compensation against corporations on behalf of numerous victims. Class actions also disincentivize companies stealing just a little bit of money from a lot of people.
