DELAWARE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Consumer Protection is part of the Fraud
Division of the Attorney General's Office. The
objective of the programs and functions of
Consumer Protection is the protection of the
general public against consumer fraud and violation
of consumer protection laws. These objectives are
carried out through enforcement of state statutes,
consumer education and information, consumer
advocacy and coordinated state and federal
governmental cooperation.
One of our important functions is helping consumers
resolve problems with businesses. We operate a free
telephone hotline where consumers can get
information, discuss problems and make complaints.
All our contact information is listed to the right.
Our Complaint Form is
available on-line for consumers to complete and send
to us by email.
Law enforcement actions are taken by the Attorney
General's Consumer Protection Unit to protect the
public good and to ensure a fair market place. When
appropriate, lawsuits brought by the Attorney
General may include claims for restitution for
consumer victims. The Attorney General and employees
of the office are not authorized to provide legal
representation or advice to private citizens.
An important part of Consumer Protection's work is
to provide Delaware citizens with the information
necessary to avoid becoming victims of consumer
fraud and to help them in making wise purchasing
decisions. We meet with community groups and provide
important information through seminars, talks and
consumer events. We issue Consumer
Alerts and distribute Brochures
and fact sheets with valuable Tips
for Consumers. Our brochures and information are
available by mail and are on the Attorney General's
website. The Attorney General and the Consumer
Protection Unit work with local, state and federal
agencies to coordinate educational, investigative
and enforcement efforts to protect our citizens and
enforce our laws. If you would like to have a member
of the Consumer Protection Unit speak to your group
or organization, please call us at 800-220-5424 or
302-577-8600.
