What Are Deceptive Financial Services?

Even though the Federal Trade Commission Act has prohibited unfair and deceptive practices since 1914, changing technology has allowed companies and institutions to continually challenge what is considered a deceptive practice.

In order for a financial service or practice to be considered deceptive or unfair, it must have:

• Caused harm or is likely to cause harm to the consumer;
• Cannot be reasonably avoided by the consumer;
• Is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to the consumer.

Financial Institutions Put Profits Over People

Deceptive financial practices occur at an alarming rate to millions of unsuspecting consumers. From re-ordering checks to forced payment protection services, customers and consumers are often not even aware that they are being continually harmed by deceptive financial practices. For example, by simply re-ordering the sequence of your checks, banks are often able to charge multiple overdraft fees, instead of just one. Consumers don’t even realize that they have been deceived, and simply believe that this is just the way the business operates.

Fortunately, consumers don’t have to accept these deceptive practices without a fight. Banking institutions, credit card companies, and tax preparation franchises are in a business to make money. But when profits become more important than people, these institutions often cross the line and begin using deceptive financial practices to increase profit margins.
