Building Your Case – Things You Can Do Now

Companies that look the other way while their employees engage in deceptive trade practices are often willing to call the bluff of consumers. Assuming no one will take them to court and, if they do, they can easily deny everything, they usually dispose of any incriminating evidence involving them. That’s why it’s essential to save any advertisements, written contracts, receipts, written communications, even phone messages pertaining to your case.
Additionally, keeping track of the names of the people you spoke to, as well as when and for how long, not only provides important documentation, but can often be used to expose contradictory testimony on the part of dishonest sales personnel and customer service representatives.

Take Action

Lenders, creditors, insurance companies, retailers and even utility companies can mislead consumers about what is allowable and what is not.
