The Obama Administration Abandons Consumers

It appears that the Obama Administration is going to abandon the consumer.  Unless something changes, the White House plans to allow General Motors to abandon over 300 consumers seriously hurt by defects in GM vehicles by extinguishing the company's responsibility for these victims.

What kind of company would abandon a catastrophically injured child, a woman paralyzed from the neck down, and hundreds of others who have been injured by defective GM cars? How can our government leave these consumers with no protection -- especially when these are the same consumers who bailed out GM in the first place?

On Tuesday, General Motors and the White House will attempt to officially leave these injured families behind in the bankruptcy process. The Obama Administration's "Auto Task-Force," which is lead by the Treasury Department, is directly responsible for this decision.

Arbitration Fairness Act

Consumer arbitration can be a dangerous way for companies to avoid being held accountable to consumers.  Forced arbitration clauses are buried into the fine print of automobile contracts and loans, manufactured home contracts, nursing home facilities, and more.   Thank goodness there is legislation moving through Congress to put an end to forced consumer arbitration.  Basically, the Arbitration Fairness Act would prohibit companies such as mobile home manufacturers, car dealers, and others, from using forced arbitration agreements.
