Ohio Consumer Protection Lawyers
The law firm of Willis & Willis Co., L.P.A. represents individuals who have been victimized by identity thieves, unscrupulous businesses, scam artists, crooked lenders or abusive bill collectors. Our Akron, Ohio firm represents clients statewide in all facets of consumer protection:
- Auto Dealer Fraud — We are familiar with all the dealership scams, from bait-and-switch ads and credit application fraud to undisclosed defects and hidden fees. We work to get clients out of fraudulent contracts and seek punitive damages under Ohio consumer protection laws.
- Odometer Fraud — If a dealer or private seller tampered with the odometer to roll back the high mileage on a used car you bought, we will pursue damages to compensate you and punish the fraud.
- Lemon Law — If your new car has been in the shop repeatedly for defects, you may be entitled under state law to a different vehicle or full refund.
- Identity Theft — If your credit card or ATM/debit card was used to charge merchandise or someone used your personal information to open fake accounts in your name, it creates havoc with your personal finances and credit rating. We intervene with the bank, credit card companies and credit reporting agencies to fix credit report errors and restore your credit and good name.
- Predatory Lending — If you were persuaded into a high-interest, variable-rate or hidden-cost home loan and now face foreclosure, you may have been targeted by an unscrupulous lender or mortgage broker and you may be entitled to civil damages for fraud.
- Unfair Debt Collection — Federal law regulates collection agencies, merchants or credit card companies. We can stop abusive practices and seek damages from creditors for violating the law.
