Unfair Business Practices Lawyers in Chicago

Standing Up for Consumer Rights

State and federal laws regulating the relationship between businesses and consumers govern companies large and small. Most businesses adhere to the laws and to generally recognized ethical practices. However, some companies engage in behaviors that harm the rights of consumers.

If you feel that you are the victim of unfair or fraudulent business practices, Edelman Combs Latturner & Goodwin, LLC is here to help. Since 1985, we have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of consumers in Illinois and across the country in consumer class actions of all types. We work exclusively for consumers, not for business interests.

Litigating Fraudulent Business Practice Cases

At Edelman Combs Latturner & Goodwin, LLC, our Chicago employment lawyers handle cases on behalf of individual clients as well as large classes of people who have been harmed by the unlawful actions of a business.

Some of the many kinds of cases we handle include:

• Unauthorized electronic payments, including withdrawals from your bank account or unauthorized credit card charges
• Sending junk faxes or spam texts
• Robocalling and telemarketing abuse
• False advertising
• Bait-and-switch in attempts to deceive customers
• Hidden fees, false charges, or overcharges
• Debt collection harassment
• Predatory lending

We also handle litigation under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We have been involved in FACTA litigation since 2003 when the legislation was introduced. If a business has reported inaccurate information about you to a credit bureau, we can help you understand your options for cleaning up the credit reporting issue.

If you have reason to believe a business is defrauding consumers or is engaged in other types of unfair business practices, we may be able to help. Discuss your case with our legal team to discover how you can pursue the compensation you deserve.
