I contacted HUD and they said that I needed to talk to the Attorney General office for information on tenants rights being violated. I called the number and as expected was basically shutdown. Told to go to a website for vague information to get help. As I explained to them that it was more detailed then what an Act would say. They wouldn't even hear what I had to say. Then basically told me tough luck and had no help. Just another classic situation of how garbage the politicians and government in Mississippi are.

I've tried my best to get an opinion from the Attorney General's office based on current law are golf carts allowable vehicles on public roads since they don't meet state requirements for safety items, tags, and state required insurance, and most have stickers/tags attached starting "Not For Highway Use". For whatever reason they continue to ignore my request. Another one of those I will just turn my head and maybe it will go away.

After Lynn Fitch took over. The Mississippi Attorney General Office has turned into a big fat nothing. No serious work is getting done. Just folks taking pictures. I thought women were more honest and had more passion about serving. This office was one of the best ran state government offices and not it is one of the worst ran. BRING BACK JIM HOOD. At least he brought money to the state and he locked up people! Please come back Jim Hood! They have ran this office into a machine for political use.

They could care less about the consumer. We filed a complaint with the Mississippi Attorney General's Office and never got a response and was given the run around. Seems like they care about big corporations than the consumers

Don't ever call Mississippi State General Office. If you are a citizen are Vulnerable adult. Cause you can't get any kind of help. They don't care who you are. That is a vulnerable adult living in unsafe Conditions at 809 apartments in Jackson, Mississippi. 809 apartments has got more code violations than the law allows, and their is enough at 809 apartments to shut it down permanently. Until it meets the codes and follows the law. Pay $635 a month to live in roaches, rats, mice, and unsafe Conditions. State laws of Mississippi isn't enforced, and Mississippi Vulnerable Protection Act doesn't exist. In order to get anything than done. You have to be in the click with the Mississippi State Attorney General Office.

Someone please tell the switchboard staff that their personalities are absolutely disguisting! I was expecting professionalism and kindess when calling this office. And each time I do, I'm met with nasty women. This isn't Washington D.C., a little humility goes a long way. This office needs a total revamp.

Absolutely ridiculous! I have been getting the runaround from Mississippi child support for almost 15 years and the Attorney General's office will not do a thing about it even after being directed to them by my local district attorney's office. Mississippi child support does zero good when the Parent who owes resides in another state
