    It is unlawful for anyone to sell or offer to sell to any consumer food items, emergency products or services, and other items for a price more than 10 percent greater than the price charged immediately prior to a declaration of emergency. A violation constitutes an unlawful business practice and and act of unfair competition.

  • FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES

    State and federal laws protect consumers from improper debt collection activities. The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act’s (FDCPA) protection is limited to personal, family, and household debts, and it therefore does not include business debts or individual debts incurred for business purposes.

  • FRAUD & DECEPTIVE PRACTICES

    Consumer protection statutes guard against deception and fraud by businesses and individuals that sell goods or services. The California’s Consumer’s Legal Remedies Act prohibits various forms of false advertising, such as misrepresenting the source or quality of goods, or falsely representing used goods as “new”.
