predatory practices  

Definición

  • Predatory practices are business practices that exploit the consumer, particularly in circumstances where either the exploitation is industry-wide or the consumer is unable for some reason to seek services from less exploitative alternatives. Those reasons may include proximity (as in the higher prices charged by a corner store whose customers may lack the means to travel to a store with lower prices), lack of information, or lack of eligibility (as in the case of usurious credit cards offered to high-risk customers ineligible for other forms of credit).
