The Maryland Consumer Protection Act and Your Rights

The Maryland Consumer Protection Act exists to safeguard residents from unfair, abusive, or deceptive trade practices. Under Maryland Commercial Law § 13-301, businesses are prohibited from making false or misleading statements regarding the quality, price, or benefits of goods and services. This law covers many transactions, including home improvements, car sales, and health club memberships.

Stopping Illegal Debt Collection and Harassment

Debt collectors must follow the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act. Under § 14-202, collectors are prohibited from using threats of violence, obscene language, or contacting your employer except under very specific conditions. They also cannot claim to be a representative of the government or threaten to take legal action they do not intend to pursue.

We are dedicated to serving Germantown by stopping illegal harassment and demanding that agencies follow the law. If a collector continues to call you after being told to stop, or if they disclose your debt to third parties, they are in violation of your rights. We represent clients in forcing these agencies to cease their abusive practices. You deserve to live without the fear of constant, unlawful debt collection calls.
