Description

The Consumer Protection Division assists Arkansas consumers when problems arise during consumer transactions.

In other instances, attorneys pursue lawsuits against those who violate the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.The Attorney General's office investigates and prosecutes alleged violations of the State and federal antitrust laws. Those laws are premised on two basic requirements: companies cannot agree to limit competition in ways that hurt consumers, and a single company cannot monopolize or try to monopolize an industry through unfair practices.Note: Community members that have experienced Disaster Related Price Gouging may file a complaint with the Attorney General's office.
