to do:

second issue: undisclosed $35 charge for not fixing computer.

attempted to charge undisclosed $35 fee.
dispute over $35 being the actual cost of shipping, since it was an internal thing, not returned to manufacturer.
next step: research indy deceptive consumer practices statute.
Nevertheless, the majority opinion got it right. It did what we at Pavlack Law often praise theIndiana Court of Appeals for doing – realizing that the law and common sense should rarely, if ever, be in conflict. To finish off the case, the court also found that Heather could present her claims for the Crime Victim’s Relief Act and fraud to a jury as well. Recall from our previous discussion on the Crime Victim’s Relief Act that a plaintiff can bring a civil claim for damages sustained from something that constitutes a criminal act. In this case the alleged criminal act was Deception.
The Indiana Code defines the crime of deception as occurring when “a person ‘disseminates to the public an advertisement that the person knows is false, misleading, or deceptive, with intent to promote the purchase or sale of property or the acceptance of employment’ commits deception.” The court found that the same grounds that supported its findings on the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act could support a claim for deception. The court also held that it could support a claim for common law fraud.
All-in-all the Court of Appeals wrote a phenomenal opinion for the triumph of common sense with regard to consumer expectations. This decision helps to extend the protections for Indiana consumers and helps to protect against consumer fraud.
If you find yourself the victim of consumer fraud it is of the utmost importance that you find counsel that is experienced and knows the intricacies of the law. Though the Kesling decision is a major step in the right direction for consumer rights in Indiana, there are still very many difficulties and complexities in Indiana law regarding consumer protection.
