Telemarketing Complaint Form

Looking for the Telemarketing Complaint Form and/or information about what happens to your complaints? It can be found below:

Before You File a Complaint

• Read our consumer tips, which can help you avoid future problems.
• Remember that our office can’t give you legal advice or provide legal representation to individual consumers. We may file lawsuits if we determine a business or individual may have violated North Carolina’s consumer protection laws and harmed consumers, but we cannot file a lawsuit solely to recover money or property for you.
• Our complaint mediation process helps open communication between consumers and businesses, encourages fair settlements, and aims to resolve issues without legal action. Ultimately, only a court can decide whether a business has broken the law and force a business to take a particular action.
• Our office generally doesn’t get involved in matters that are scheduled or have already been heard in a court of law or that are the proper subject for another state or federal agency.
• Know that documents you provide to us may be public record.

What happens to my 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.
