Attorney general offering help in mediating disputes

The La. Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section assists consumers by investigating and mediating consumer disputes. Once they receive a dispute form, the office will evaluate the dispute and attempt to assist you in resolving differences between you and the company with which you have a dispute.

They may refer you and/or your dispute to a more appropriate agency and the office may provide you with steps that you can take to protect yourself from suspected identity theft. Call 800-351-4889.

The best way to protect yourself from becoming a victim of a scam is to understand your rights as a consumer. The La. Attorney General’s consumer education program distributes information through consumer alerts, publications and presentations
