Here are some of the most common situations where legal protection matters—and how you’re covered under consumer law:
💡 Utility and Billing Disputes
If your utility company overcharges, cuts service unfairly, or refuses to fix a billing mistake, you have the right to dispute the error and request documentation.
🔨 Contractor and Home Repair Issues
When a contractor doesn’t complete a job as promised or delivers poor-quality work, you may be entitled to refunds, repairs, or legal action for breach of contract.
🛍️ Warranty and Product Problems
If a product fails during its warranty period, the seller or manufacturer must honor their warranty terms. You can demand repair, replacement, or refund.
💳 Debt and Credit Collection
Federal and state laws protect you from unfair collection practices, unauthorized charges, and harassment by debt collectors.
🚗 Insurance Disputes
When an insurance company delays, denies, or underpays a valid claim, you have the right to challenge their decision and appeal.
💰 Tax and Audit Assistance
Even if you’re dealing with IRS or state tax issues, you have legal rights—and affordable help is available through a legal protection plan.
