FAQ
The UTPCPL also makes it an unfair or deceptive act or practice to engage in a “bait and switch” – advertising goods or services with intent not to sell them as advertised, or advertising them with intent not to supply the reasonably expectable public demand, unless the advertisement discloses a quantity limitation.
Generally speaking, in Pennsylvania, there is a two-year statute of limitations that applies to any civil action in which an individual seeks to recover damages for personal injuries, or for the death of an individual, caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another person.
The statute of limitations for a UTPCPL claim is six years, which means that a consumer must file a claim pursuant to the statute within six years from the date that an alleged wrongdoing occurred.
(These practices are commonly called misleading or unfair business practices.) They include false advertising, misrepresentation, tied selling, and failing to comply with regulations. Under consumer protection laws, they are illegal and can lead to compensatory or punitive damages.
Section 201-2 prohibits false advertising.
First, the UTPCPL is not subject to the relatively short two-year statute of limitations applicable to common law fraud claims, thereby allowing a plaintiff to pursue what is in essence a claim for fraud so long as he files within the six-year limitations period applicable to UTPCPL claims.
