| Filing a Complaint |
|
We've
compiled a list of Federal Agencies where you can document
a complaint against a company. The topic areas are arranged
alphabetically. Use the letter index to jump to a topic.
Please note
that many of these agencies will not act on the behalf of
individual consumers, although they do use complaints to
document a pattern of abuse that may allow them to take
action against a company. For other sources of assistance,
please refer to the Consumer
Action Website. |
