Our Mission
Our mission is to protect and enforce the consumer rights of the citizens of South Carolina, statewide. The “big businesses” you deal with should take care of the money and information you entrust, tell the truth, keep promises, and follow the law. We believe that being “big” is not a justification or an excuse for ignoring your rights. We hate bullies. That’s why we’re on your side.
