Consumer Protection

North Carolina Consumer Protection Attorneys

At Weaver, Bennett & Bland, P.A., our attorneys help consumers throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg and the surrounding areas recover compensation from sellers and manufacturers under North Carolina consumer protection laws. Below are a few areas in which our lawyers handle claims. If you would like to speak with a member of our firm about your situation, please contact our Matthews office to arrange a consultation.

Breach of warranty and Lemon Law violations: If a manufacturer does not conform to a warranty, it constitutes an unfair trade practice. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that outlines the rights of consumers and responsibilities of manufacturers and sellers of consumer products. Our lawyers assist clients in suing for breach of warranty, including warranties covering automobile sales. Our lawyers handle claims, including claims related to new car purchases under the North Carolina "Lemon Law."

Unfair debt collection activity: Our attorneys may be able to negotiate a reduction or restructuring of credit card debt and stop creditor harassment and dunning phone calls. (See Bankruptcy )

Fraudulent auto sales: North Carolina law requires that a seller disclose in writing if a car has sustained damage that was over 25% of the vehicle's value. If a seller fails to disclose collision damage on a used car, state laws provide that a buyer can recover up to six times the difference in value caused by the failure to disclose the damage to the vehicle plus attorney fees. In cases involving odometer fraud or mileage rollbacks, a victim can recover nine times his or her actual damages plus attorney fees under state and federal remedial statutes. We invite you to view our Verdicts and Settlements page.

Tenants' rights and housing code violations: Our lawyers protect tenants against abusive rental practices and dangerous housing code violations.
