Arbitration Clauses Hinder Relief

The CFPB recently released a study showing that arbitration clauses hinder consumer relief from disputes. The study shows that while millions of consumers are eligible for class action lawsuits each year, very few seek individual restitution through arbitration methods. The report also showed that more than 75% of consumers did not know whether they were subject to an arbitration clause.  [3/10/15]
