We will consider handling the following consumer problems for clients who meet our income guidelines:

Collections

-Illegal fees or excessive interest rates
Wrongful repossession of vehicles
Predatory or Deceptive Practices
-Predatory or deceptive lending or installment purchase practices
-Unlicensed contractors
Wrongful termination of public utilities
Contracts and warranties

We may offer advice and brief services for other consumer issues. If we cannot assist you, we will help find an organization that can.

NLSP also helps staff the Small Claims Resource Center in DC.
The Small Claims Resource Center provides legal and procedural information to Plaintiffs and Defendants involved in Small Claims Court proceedings in the District of Columbia, as well as to individuals considering filing actions in Small Claims Court.
