Consumer Rights Overview

What to Know About Your Consumer Rights

Everyone is entitled to fair and honest treatment from business entities. As a consumer in Portland, you have rights and protections under state and federal law against deceptive advertising and sales practices.

This includes the right to dispute fraudulent charges and unfair debt collection practices. There’s also the:

  • Right to privacy

  • Right to deletion of fraudulent information

  • Right to opt out of services

  • Right to credit financing

  • Right to consumer advocacy

  • Right to accurate credit reporting

Knowing these rights can help you fight back against corporate fraud. Common consumer protection cases we’ve seen involve hidden fees, defective products, false advertising, illegal robocalls, and abusive debt collection.

In fact, we helped a man in Oregon who was harassed by a debt collector trying to collect $1,096 for a bank he claimed he never did business with. The case was dismissed, and the debtor was ordered to pay over $19,000 in legal expenses.

What counts as a consumer violation (including the Lemon Law)?

The ‘Lemon Law’ is a type of law that protects consumers from being sold defective vehicles (known as ‘lemons’) by car dealers. Some examples of other fraudulent business practices include:

  • Falsely advertising a product’s features, price, or quality.
  • Hiding important terms in the fine print of contracts.
  • Making unauthorized charges to a consumer’s credit card.
  • Failing to honor a valid warranty or guarantee.
  • Harassing a debtor or trying to collect an invalid debt.
  • Reporting inaccurate negative information on a credit report.
  • Making unwanted robocalls to a person’s phone

If you have experienced any of these violations from a business, it’s important to speak to a knowledgeable attorney right away. You may be entitled to damages, including statutory damages and punitive damages.
