Our business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will review your complaint and contact you if anything is missing. If your complaint is not something we handle, we will let you know and forward it to the right agency. We offer alternative dispute resolution services for complaints that do not appear to involve a violation of consumer protection law. This is a voluntary process. We will act as a neutral in facilitating communication between you and the business in an attempt to resolve the complaint. We typically send complaints we handle to the business for its response, and we ask consumers to respond to the business’s position. If a mutually agreeable resolution cannot be reached, we may provide information regarding other options available to you. Where a complaint appears to involve a violation of consumer protection law, the matter may be reviewed to determine if there is a pattern or practice of violations warranting a possible law enforcement action.
