Consumer Protection Division staff to offer assistance and information to flood victims
CEDAR RAPIDS – Representatives from the Attorney General’s office will travel to Cedar Rapids Friday and Monday to assist Iowans affected by flooding.
The Consumer Protection Division will provide free copies of materials, answer questions, and provide consumer complaint forms to flood victims who request them. The information will include general advice on hiring a contractor, avoiding fraud, and the state’s price-gouging rule.
“We hope that people facing flood cleanup or repairs can meet with us in person if they have a question or complaint,” Attorney General Tom Miller said. “We can help provide information to Iowans about their rights and consumer protections as they seek to clean up and repair flood damage.”
