Part II. Consumer Assistance
Directory
National Consumer
Organizations
These organizations define their missions as consumer assistance,
protection and/or advocacy. The descriptions below are based on information
they provided. The services they provide vary. Those that assist individuals
with marketplace problems are specified. Otherwise, these organizations do not
assist consumers with individual complaints, although many are interested in
hearing from consumers about problems, issues and trends in connection with
their advocacy and consumer education activities. Most, though not all, develop
and distribute consumer education and information materials; several are
professional associations primarily or exclusively concerned with improving
consumer protection or customer service; and many are engaged in advocacy of
consumer interests before government, the courts and the news media. Where
informational or educational materials are offered, there might be a charge;
contact the organization to find out.

Better Business
Bureaus
Better Business Bureaus (BBBs) are non-profit organizations supported
primarily by local business members. The focus of BBB activities is to promote
an ethical marketplace by encouraging honest advertising and selling practices,
and by providing alternative dispute resolution. BBBs offer a variety of
consumer services. For example, they provide consumer education materials;
answer consumer questions; provide information about a company, particularly
whether or not there are unanswered or unsettled complaints or other
marketplace problems; help resolve buyer/seller complaints against a company,
including mediation and arbitration services; and provide information about
charities and other organizations that are seeking public donations.
BBBs usually request that a complaint be submitted in writing so that
an accurate record exists of the dispute. The BBB will then take up the
complaint with the company involved. If the complaint cannot be satisfactorily
solved through communication with the business, a BBB may offer an alternative
dispute settlement process, such as mediation or arbitration. BBBs do
not judge or rate individual products or brands, handle complaints
concerning the price of goods or services, handle employer/employee wage
disputes or give legal advice.
If you need help with a consumer question or complaint, call your local
BBB to ask about its services. Or you can go on-line to acquire information
about the BBB through the Internet, located at http://www.bbb.org. The BBB
World Wide Web server features consumer fraud and scam alerts and provides
information about BBB programs, services and locations.
The Council of Better Business Bureaus, the umbrella organization for
the BBBs, also provides programs and publications for consumers. The Council
can assist with complaints about the truthfulness and accuracy of national
advertising claims, including children's advertising; provide reports on
national soliciting charities; and help to settle disputes with automobile
manufacturers through the BBB AUTO LINE program.
In addition to the BBBs listed below, there are 16 BBBs in Canada. The
Council of Better Business Bureaus can give you the addresses for Bureaus in
Canada.

Corporate Consumer Contacts
This section will help you resolve a complaint about a service or
product. First, be sure to go back to the place where you bought the product or
service. Try to resolve the complaint with the seller. If that does not work,
the next step is to write or call the company's headquarters.
This section lists the names and addresses of more than 650 corporate
headquarters and, in many cases, the name of the person to contact. Many
listings also include toll free "800" numbers. Additionally, TDD
(Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf) numbers, made available by a number
of companies, are in bold type.
In some Cases, you will see a company name or brand name listed with
the instructions to see another company listed elsewhere in this section, for
example, "Max Factor, see Procter and Gamble." This means that questions about
Max Factor products should be directed to the consumer contact at Procter and
Gamble. Also, if a company has changed its name recently or is popularly known
by another name, you will be directed to the company name listed.
If you do not find the product name in this section, check the product
label or warranty for the name and address of the manufacturer. Public
libraries also have information that might be helpful. The Standard &
Poor's Register of Corporations, Directors and Executives; Trade Names
Directory; Standard Directory of Advertisers; and Dun & Bradstreet
Directory are four sources that list information about most firms. If you
cannot find the name of the manufacturer, the Thomas Register of American
Manufacturers lists the manufacturers of thousands of products.
Remember, to save time, first take your complaint back to where you
bought the product. If you contact the company's headquarters first, the
consumer contact probably will direct you back to the local store where you
made the purchase.
