If you have fallen afoul of unfair business practices, your rights as a consumer may have been trampled. The Cook County consumer law attorneys at the Bach Law Offices, Inc can help you fight back.
Thanks to Chicago, Cook County is a hub of some of the world's most lucrative businesses and industries. From finance to healthcare, consumers are not short on options when it comes to services in the Windy City. Unfortunately, not all of those companies and businesses are going to behave ethically, fairly, or transparently, sometimes even breaking the law to take advantage of you or drain money from your accounts.
It is easy to feel powerless and frustrated when up against faceless companies, just as you might feel dwarfed by the massive steel skyscrapers that hide them in downtown Chicago. But Cook County consumers do have rights, and when companies ignore or trample their rights, you can fight back, though you might need some help to do so.
In Cook County, the consumer law and bankruptcy lawyers at the Bach Law Offices, Inc regularly go head-to-head with companies, large and small, that have mistreated their customers. Whether that means pursuing a creditor for harassment, helping a victim of predatory credit card companies escape their debt, or simply correcting a costly error on your credit report, we can help.
Over the years, as Chicago and Cook County emerged as titans of financial and other industries, laws were passed in the United States and Illinois to protect consumers like you from mistreatment. Most of these laws are captured in individual government acts, many of which have had to be updated to keep pace with the increasing potential for abuse from technological progress.
For example, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prevents creditors from harassing you to get their hands on your money. It prevents them from obviously illegal behavior like threatening violence, but also against less obviously abusive practices like calling at inappropriate hours or contacting your employer or family. If a creditor has been hounding you, you might be a victim without even realizing it.
Unfortunately, these laws are not always respected, which means you might not realize you are a victim. This also means that the burden for getting them enforced and fighting back can often fall on you, the consumer. Fortunately, consumer law attorneys like those at the Bach Law Offices, Inc can help you do so.
Standing up for your rights and your family in Cook County can be difficult, especially when dealing with large, intimidating companies. Fortunately, it is not a task you have to do alone. You can reach out to the Bach Law Offices, Inc to find practical, compassionate, and effective guidance and advocacy to help you:
How can you fight for your rights if you do not even know what they are? But also, how can you be expected to know what they are when there are nearly as many different types of consumer laws and protections as there are industries they try to regulate? This can feel frustrating and daunting.
One of the main services we can offer as consumer law attorneys is simply to make sure Cook County consumers like you are aware of those rights. If you feel that you may have been treated unfairly, been the victim of predatory tactics or harassment on behalf of a company, you should not hesitate to reach out and find out if those companies can be held responsible.
If you have been the victim of illegal, unlawful or unethical company behavior, you may be able to fight back against it through the legal system. Sometimes hiring a lawyer alone can be enough to get a company to stop, and legal actions can be taken before escalating to a lawsuit. A phone call or a sternly worded letter from an attorney might be sufficient to obtain relief in some cases. But if not, a lawsuit in court may be required.
With the help of an experienced consumer law attorney, you can file lawsuits after a breach of your consumer rights to get compensation for the harm caused to you and your family. Fortunately, many companies in Cook County will choose to settle before the case ever makes it to court, especially if you have a reputable lawyer on your side.
Sometimes, unfortunately, even seemingly abusive or predatory tactics turn out to be legal, or too difficult to fight against. You can quickly find yourself deeply in debt to credit card companies, for example, without the resources to fight them. An expensive legal battle for justice might be unattainable or counterproductive when all you need is financial relief.
Fortunately, at the Bach Law Offices, Inc in Cook County, our attorneys are also highly experienced bankruptcy lawyers. We can help you say goodbye to many forms of debt, including credit card debt. Often, a bankruptcy may be a cheaper way to get out from under abusive companies, while also providing you with a fresh financial start in the process.
