Consumer Protection Laws And The Role Of Arbitration In Consumer Contracts

05/25/16 - Join us for Wednesday’s Topical Currentsand an “At Your Service” consumer protection call-in session with experts in studio: Michael Schiff, consumer law attorney; and Holly Beth Billington, Miami-Dade County Consumer Advocate.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has this month proposed restricting arbitration language in credit applications, which may give cardholders more power in disputes. 

We’ll have details on the program . . . and answer listener questions about many consumer issues.

That’s Topical Currents, “At Your Service,” Wednesday at 1pm.
