Minnesota Attorney General Files Suit Against National Arbitration Forum

July 14, 2009

The following is excerpted from a NACA email alert. Visit NACA here.

Today the Minnesota Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the National Arbitration Forum alleging “consumer fraud, false advertising and deceptive trade practices by ‘misrepresenting its independence’ and hiding its ‘extensive ties’ to the collection industry.”

Below are two links to articles on the lawsuit.

NACA plans to use the Minnesota Attorney General’s complaint as well as the 2008 complaint filed by the City of San Francisco against NAF to help push the Arbitration Fairness Act through Congress.
