Many claims falling under the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act have a one-year statute of limitations. In addition, certain laws have a “discovery” rule, which means the statute of limitations does not start to run until you know or should know of the violation. Depending on your situation, you may have several claims for which you could sue, meaning that even if some are too late to file, others may still be viable in court. Please talk to an attorney to learn about your options. #consumerprotection #consumerlaw #elderlaw #seniors #seniorcitizen #legalhelp #legalservice

With tech support scams, fraudsters pose as tech support representatives from trustworthy companies. They often claim that your device is infected by a virus and trick you into granting them access to your phone or computer. If you receive unsolicited messages or phone calls about tech support, do not respond. Reputable companies do not proactively contact you about these issues. #scam #scams #fraud #techscams #elderlaw #seniors #seniorcitizen #legalhelp #legalservice
