The strange metal behavior, which is still an unsolved problem in condensed matter physics, is often observed in the proximity of quantum critical points. Typical signatures of strange metal behavior include anomalies in thermodynamic and transport properties, including the linear-in-temperature resistivity. In this talk we will focus on the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient trends as a function of temperature observed in the strange metal phase of cuprates. Based on the experimental evidence of a dynamical inhomogeneous charge order, we propose a scenario where charge density collective modes with finite correlation length mediate an effective interaction among electronic quasiparticles. Under suitable conditions concerning the nature of these collective modes, valid in the vicinity of quantum critical point, it is possible to show that our model is able to explain some of the observed abnormal behaviors. A brief outline of Linear Response Theory, which is the scheme used for the calculation of the physical quantities discussed, is also included.
