When a company adds a charge to your account without your permission, or sends you a bill for something you didn’t order, it may be breaking the law. Although it can be very frustrating to deal with unwanted charges, especially when the billing company refuses to listen, help is available.

If you are having problems with a company—whether it’s your retailer, a company you bought stock in, or even your employer—many other people may well be having the same problems. A class action suit is often a good solution in these situations because it can allow thousands of people across wide distances to all benefit from a single case.

It does not take a lot of people to begin a class action. Class action lawsuits often start when one motivated person decides to take action.
