Bowie, Maryland Consumer Protection Attorney

Determined Lawyer Fighting Unfair Business Practices in Bowie, MD

Companies often forget that they depend on consumers to stay in business. Although various laws require businesses to treat consumers fairly, they may still engage in unfair or illegal practices. You have rights, and when a company infringes on them, you have legal options to demand better treatment. However, if you approach a company on your own with complaints and demands, the representative will probably try to intimidate or misinform you. You need a skilled advocate armed with comprehensive legal knowledge to help you put these companies in their place. You need Hope Blocton.

Bloc One Services, LLC provides exceptional legal representation in these situations, and Ms. Blocton will work on your behalf to demand a stop to harassment, deception, and illegal actions.

We Fight Against Those Who Violate Your Consumer Rights in Bowie, Maryland

Unfair and deceptive business practices can take many forms, and all of them are unacceptable. We fight to protect your rights and best interests as a consumer in complaints that may include:

• Auto-Dialed and Illegal Calls: Businesses must have prior written consent to use robocalls to contact you. Even if that permission is granted, calls must be made within a specific window of time, and prerecorded messages are also prohibited.
• Class Actions: Sometimes, so many consumers experience similar issues that a class-action lawsuit may be filed. This will group cases together to streamline the process.
• Credit Reporting: When creditors report transactions to the credit bureaus, the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires them to take care to provide only accurate, relevant information. Additionally, accessing your credit report and history is limited to those who are permitted to do so.
• Deceptive Advertising: Anyone advertising a service, product, or company is legally obligated to represent themselves accurately. False advertising could include intentionally guiding you toward an unnecessary service or repair, presenting a used product as being new, misrepresenting price comparisons and discounts, and making false claims about benefits, approvals, and quality.
• Debt Collector Harassment: Many people get behind on paying their bills. It is natural for creditors to want their money, but different laws limit the ways they can attempt to collect debts.
• Illegal Repossessions: Laws are in place governing when and how secured debts can be collected. Creditors who intend to repossess collateral are required to follow those laws, but some violate them.
• Predatory Lending: Some lenders use misleading information and target certain groups of vulnerable consumers. Scams can lead to foreclosures, garnishments, and financial ruin.
• Debt Settlement Scams: Many companies claim to be able to settle your debts and raise your credit score immediately, but letting an unscrupulous company handle your finances can be a costly mistake. If you need debt relief, we can help with skilled debt settlement or filing for bankruptcy.
• Illegal Debt Collection: From homeowner associations to property managers, some organizations attempt to collect fees or other funds that consumers do not actually owe. They may also grossly inflate fees to unreasonable rates.
