California Consumer Advocate, Attorney Howard D. Silver Releases New Online Identity Theft Resource Center
Oak Park, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2012
Making Identity Theft Resources Easily Available
Identity theft has continued to increase in frequency over the past decade in both California and the United States as a whole. As reported by MercuryNews.com, California Attorney General Kamala Harris stated that every year, more than 1 million Californians are victims of identity theft. She also emphasized that identity theft can result in heavy debt to credit bureaus, illegal use of Social Security benefits, draining of bank accounts, and many more abuses of a victims funds. With these points in mind, the resource center provides informative data to help identity theft victims understand the crimes that have been committed against them and how they can recover. By gaining knowledge from the resource center, identity theft victims can become more familiar with how to rebuild their lives and not suffer financial consequences caused not only by identity thieves, but also creditors seeking to collect debts unfairly or illegally.

Lemon Laws – Protecting Consumer Rights
Lemon Laws were established in 1978 in an effort to ensure consumers have a voice if their car isn’t repaired properly or if the vehicle they have purchased is within constant need of repairs. Lemon laws protect the rights from the individual to drive a car that is safe as well as in good working condition.
Before any lemon law been around, consumers were left in the dark if their vehicle didn’t work properly or was always wearing down. Basically, you were at the mercy of the manufacturer or auto repair center and had no real power to fight back. Oftentimes car owners were forced to continually purchase expensive repairs out of their own pocket – not something everyone could easily afford to complete. Lemon laws, however, have changed all that.
