Protecting Consumer Rights: Consumer Resources
Consumers From Canada
Your rights as a consumer are protected by The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC). The FCAC ensures federally regulated financial entities comply with consumer protection measures, promotes financial education and raises consumers’ awareness of their rights and responsibilities.
For more information, please contact the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Consumers from the United States
States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In some cases, you may have more rights under state law. For more information, contact your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General. Federal enforcers are:
