Mark your calendars! National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) is March 7-13, when consumer advocates will travel throughout Ohio to help you and your family make the most of your money.

NCPW partners will host financial fairs, community forums and educational workshops. They’ll provide you with the information and tools you need to manage your money, prevent identity theft, understand your credit and avoid unfair and deceptive business practices.
