Quick Consumer Protection Tips

Document Everything

Keep records of all calls, emails, receipts, and interactions with the company.

Know Your Deadlines

Many protections have time limits. Act quickly once you identify a problem.

Put It in Writing

Email creates a paper trail. Follow up phone calls with a written summary.

Stay Professional

Emotional responses weaken your position. Stick to facts and be clear about what you want.

Read the Contract

Your rights (and limitations) are often spelled out in the fine print. Review it carefully.

Escalate Strategically

Start with customer service, then move to supervisors, executives, and regulators if needed.
