Why you should care about unfair arbitration and what you can do about it
Please click the link below for a blog by my friend, and outstanding consumer attorney Ron Burdge:
Congress Looks at UNfair Arbitration and introduces a bill to stop it
Here's a sample of the post:
"Did you know that most of the time you get a cell phone, you are agreeing that no matter what happens you won't take the cell phone company to court? Did you know that many employers now require that too, if you want them to hire you? Did you know that even some car dealers won't sell you a car unless you agree you won't sue them if they rip you off? It's true, but it doesn't have to be that way."
Please read the rest, then take action as suggested in the blog!
If you have any questions on this issue, your are welcome to contact me.

Ohio foreclosure "rescue" company gets sued by Ohio Attorney General
Click here for the story.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that the Ohio Attorney General has sued a company called "The Modification Group LLC" and one of its officers, Robert Walker. According to the suit, the company claimed it would help consumers get mortgage loan modifications, but charged high fees, did not help consumers properly, and violated multiple consumer protection laws.
If you have been victimized by a mortgage modification company, a debt negotiation company or debt collector, you can complain to the Ohio Attorney General. You can also phone me to arrange a free initial consultation.

Houston jury orders $13.8M verdict in Texas debt scam
Click here to see ABC's local TV station's web story
This is an example of what a state attorney general's enforcement of consumer laws looks like. In this case, it was the Texas Attorney General going after the people behind a debt relief "scam". Be very careful about ads you hear on the radio or tv for "debt negotiation", "debt relief" etc. Some of these ads even claim to be associated with the federal government.
Part of what I do as an attorney is suing these deceptive debt relief companies for consumers who have paid them money and got little or nothing in return.

"Am I Going to Have to Kill You?" - Abusive debt collection.
Alternet article on abusive debt collection 4-17-2011
This seems like an extreme example, but this kind of abuse in debt collection goes on a lot. It needs to be stopped. I'm happy that I can occasionally get compensation for some victims of collection abuse, but realistically, collectors make too much money to stop, even if they have to pay a victim here and there.
The FTC and state attorneys general need to shut down the worst offenders, and in appropriate cases, prosecute some of these people and send them to prison.
