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.

Car Manufacturers If you have a problem with a car purchased from a local dealer, first try to work it out with the dealer. If the problem is not resolved, contact the manufacturer's regional or national office. Many of these are listed in this section.

If you still cannot resolve your problem, contact one of the third-party dispute resolution programs. The list of these programs begins on page 68. Be sure to contact your local or state consumer agency to see if your state offers state-run dispute resolution programs.

If you suspect you have a vehicle problem that might fall under your state's lemon law, call your local or state consumer agency to find out about your rights under the lemon law.

Be sure to review the automobile tips beginning on page 9.

If you have a safety problem with your vehicle, you can report it to the Auto Safety Hotline at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (see page 110). Also contact NHTSA to obtain recall and crash test information. (Note: no complaint handling is provided.)

Trade Associations' and Other Dispute Resolution Programs Companies that manufacture similar products or offer similar services often belong to industry associations. These associations help resolve problems between their member companies and consumers. Depending on the industry, you might have to contact an association, service council or consumer action program.

If you have a problem with a company and cannot get it resolved with that firm, ask if the company is a member of an association. Then, check this section to see if the association is listed. If the name of the association is not included here, check with a local library.

This list includes the names and addresses of the associations' and other dispute resolution programs that handle consumer complaints for their members. In some cases, the national organizations listed here can refer you to dispute resolution programs near you.

These programs are usually called alternative dispute resolution programs. Generally, there are three types: arbitration, conciliation and mediation. All three methods of dispute resolution vary. Ask for a copy of the rules of the program before you file your case. Generally, the decisions of the arbitrators are binding and must be accepted by both the customer and the business. However, in other forms of dispute resolution, only the business is required to accept the decision. In some programs, decisions are not binding on either party.

Remember, before contacting one of these programs, try to resolve the complaint with the company.
