LAWSUITS NEWS & LEGAL INFORMATION
Financial Law
Financial law encompasses a wide variety of topics, including consumer fraud, violations of consumer protection laws and stock fraud. Banks and other financial institutions are governed by federal and state laws and regulations to ensure consumers and investors are protected from violations of financial law. Although there are many laws designed to protect consumers and investors, including the Consumer Credit Protection Act and ERISA, consumers may still find themselves unknowingly affected by investment scams, financial fraud, non-disclosure of financial solvency, or illegal lending practices.

Consumer Banking & Lending Violations & Deceptive Practices

In addition, consumer banking violations can occur when a particular class or group of individuals is excluded from certain banking services or not made aware that such services are available.
Consumer Fraud

With the increase in the use of technology comes an increase in scams perpetrated online. Such scams include lottery/sweepstakes scams (in which the victim sends in money to claim a false prize), false Internet purchases, loan scams (in which the victim is required to send money for loan fees), e-mail scans (in which the victim is prompted to click a link to his banking institution and input his password, giving the fraudsters access to his banking information) or e-mail scams (in which the victim is asked to wire someone money so they can get back into the US).
Securities
Even the most seasoned investor can fall prey to unethical stockbrokers or financial advisers. A group of shareholders can also find themselves the victims of securities fraud by company officers and directors who misrepresent a company's financial position to shareholders. Issues such as securities and stock fraud, stockbroker fraud or problems with company issued stock options and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) violations can cause serious financial hardship for investors and plan participants.In some cases, violations of securities laws are dealt with in the courtroom. However, in other cases, victims must go through FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) arbitration.
