In Illinois, businesses cannot lie to you to make a sale. The Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (ICFA) is one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country.
It prohibits "unfair or deceptive acts or practices" in the conduct of any trade or commerce. This means if a business tricked you, lied to you, or treated you unfairly, you have the right to sue them.
You don't have to face them alone. Hyslip Legal fights for Illinois consumers to recover their money and hold bad businesses accountable. The ICFA allows you to recover your actual damages, punitive damages, and your attorney's fees.

What Does the ICFA Cover?
The ICFA is broad. It covers almost any transaction between a consumer and a business, including:
- Auto Sales & Repairs: Odometer fraud, hiding accident history, or charging for repairs not done.
- Home Improvement: Contractors taking deposits and disappearing, or doing substandard work.
- Retail Sales: False advertising, fake "sales," or selling used goods as new.
- Debt Collection: Using deception to collect a debt (also covered by the FDCPA).
Is this happening to you?
You may be entitled to compensation of $500–$1,500 per violation.
