Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, Fair Credit Reporting act, Fair debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending act and fair credit billing Act and Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act are acts that protect consumers in US.

The Fair Debt collection Practices Act prevents the costumers from unfair practices in the debt collection and to promoted the fair debt collection.  

Fair credit Reporting Act was passed to promote the privacy, fairness and accuracy of consumer information.
