Steps to Take as a Victim of Unfair Business Practices

Do you think you've been a victim of unfair business practices? If so, and you are only looking for a refund of the purchase price, you should begin by contacting the business with your complaint. If you do not get a refund from the business, it is a good idea to file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General. If you used a credit card for the purchase, you should also contact your credit card company--they may be able to get a refund for you.

However, if you have suffered a serious personal injury, want more than a simple refund, or have other reasons for wanting an attorney to resolve your complaint, here are some steps you should take in addition to contacting a lawyer.

First, document how you think the product or service failed to live up to promises and any injuries or secondary damages (including losses incurred by your business) that resulted. Next, collect all documentation on the product or service in question. Include any advertising, pamphlets, instructions, receipts, estimates, and contracts. Also try to remember what was said to you by a salesperson. Finally, document your decision-making process. Often a case will revolve on whether a particular misrepresentation led to your decision to purchase a particular product or service.
