Mississippi Attorney General's Office
The mission of the Consumer Protection Division of the Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood's Office is to shield Mississippi consumers against "unfair, false, deceptive, misleading, or unconscionable" business practices.
The division serves the public through three distinct areas:
EDUCATION Consumer Education seeks to create an informed public, able to avoid problems before they occur. Consumer Education actively teaches by presenting programs to consumers across the state and through distributing educational literature on consumer rights and concerns.
ADVOCACY Consumer Advocacy investigates and mediates consumer complaints and seeks to remedy disputes in the consumer's favor (when possible).
FRAUD Consumer Fraud actively pursues violators of the Mississippi consumer laws. Investigation here is often long-term, and legal action is taken against businesses with systematically deceptive practices.
