 Laws and rules
governing credit, consumers and creditors
There are many different laws and rules that exist to protect the consumer
in all matters pertaining to credit, credit repair companies and those who
offer credit. It is important for any consumer to understand these laws
that are designed to protect them. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is
charged with enforcing many of these laws and for providing consumers
with information about them. The FTC can be contacted by mail, telephone or
email.
