What happens to my general consumer complaint?

After we review your complaint and supporting documents, we will likely forward them to the business complained about for response. You'll receive copies of all correspondence. If the complaint falls within the jurisdiction of another local, state, or federal agency, we may refer your complaint to that agency.

We will work with you and the business to resolve your dispute. If we cannot find a resolution, we may suggest that you file an action in Small Claims Court or that you consult a private attorney.

When consumers' complaints show a pattern of illegal business practices, we may take legal action to enforce the law on behalf of the public.

Even if we aren't able to directly resolve your complaint, hearing from consumers like you helps us do our job. Consumer complaints help our office monitor questionable business practices, set priorities for enforcement efforts, and make recommendations for changes to the law.
