Hi ****! The Nebraska Consumer Protection Division enforces laws to protect consumers from unfair practices. They address complaints, investigate fraud, and can take legal action against violators.

Is there a specific detail about your issue that you think might help in finding the right path forward?
for a $* thing, private attorney isn't an options. JUST curious, that's probably companies get away with that right?

Have you considered any of these options?
