Consumer Fraud Act

The Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (commonly known as the "Consumer Fraud Act") was enacted to give consumers a remedy for wrongs committed against them in the marketplace. It was designed to address such typical problems as false advertising, odometer tampering on used motor vehicles, and sales fraud. The Act also serves as a deterrent to persons engaged in trade or commerce from engaging in such deceptive conduct.


The Act prohibits the use of any deception, fraud, false pretenses or promises, concealment, suppression, or omission of any fact that is material to a business dealing or transaction. #consumerfraudact,
