The Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act (IDCSA) protects Hoosiers from dishonest businesses. It prohibits "unfair, abusive, and deceptive" acts, omissions, or practices in connection with a consumer transaction.
Whether the deception was oral, written, or even just conduct, if a supplier misled you, they broke the law. The IDCSA allows you to sue for damages and, importantly, forces the bad actor to pay your attorney fees.
We are here to help. Hyslip Legal represents Indiana consumers against auto dealers, contractors, debt collectors, and other businesses that refuse to play by the rules.

What is an 'Uncured' Deceptive Act?
Under the IDCSA, there are two main types of violations:
- Incurable Deceptive Act: An act done by a supplier as part of a scheme, artifice, or device with intent to defraud or mislead.
- Uncured Deceptive Act: A deceptive act where you gave notice to the supplier, and they failed to offer a cure within 30 days.
Like other states, sending a proper notice letter is often a critical first step. We handle this process for you to ensure your rights are preserved.

If you win an IDCSA lawsuit, you can recover:
Actual Damages
The money you lost. If the act was "incurable" or "uncured," you can get actual damages or $500, whichever is greater.
Treble Damages (3x)
For "willful" deceptive acts, the court can award up to three times your actual damages.
Attorney Fees
The court may award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party. This is key to affording legal representation.
Voiding Contracts
In some cases, the court can declare the contract void, meaning you don't have to pay.
Senior Consumer Protections
Indiana law provides extra penalties for deceptive acts committed against "senior consumers" (age 60 or older). If a supplier knowingly targets a senior, they can face additional civil penalties of up to $5,000.
