Consumers Group Consumer Protection

Reggie asked:


We experienced errors with the disc reader, contacted the warranty company, shipped it back(the body was not damaged–just the disc reader was defective). It took them over two weeks to finally call and say ‘ it was tampered with” then said”the body was damaged”–the only problem the WII had was the disc reader. We have been going around in circles with Target guest services on this. Today they called and said they would not honor the warranty. We are trusting folks and didn’t think we needed to photograph the unit–we should have. I will be pursuing this with Michigan’s Consumer Protection Department as well as with Target President Gregg Steinhafel I just need to know has anyone else had warranty problems with either Target or their electronics warranty company? Need some help or advice.

WebSitePros had stolen $600 from my business account without my approval. I filed complaints with the BBB of Florida, and a consumer protection agency. Thru research, this company has many complaints of the same nature as mine. I want my damn money back!! I never approved any work they supposedly done nor did I sign any contracts with them.
I’d like to file a class action as I’m sure other small business owners would join in suing this company. But I want to file a lawsuit anyway. How could I sue them if I’m in WI and they are based in Florida?

Digg It asked:


:I have a camera with a 4 year warranty and I have taken it in 3 times for the same lens issue. They repaired it twice, but on the 3rd time they said there was too much wear and tear on the camera and the warranty is voided so they won’t fix it. It just so also happens that my warranty info wasn’t in their system (big surprise) I had to fight with them for 45 minutes before they finally pulled it up to verify it had been repaired twice before with the same problem. It also just so happens that the 3rd time is supposed to make the camera a lemon and they are supposed to issue me with a new one. I filed with the BBB twice, Attorney general, called best buy corporate, and filed on ripoff report and a few other consumer protection agencies. At the least I am letting others know not to fall for the crap exteneded warranty

maxim h asked:


car cost me about 29k, it has a tire pressure monitor and the light was on when i was buying a car, sales person told me that they pumped to wheels, and after driving a while it will go off. it did not. lexus dealership quoted 400 per wheel to fix it.
car needs alignment as well (they charged me $1000 for “car preparation”)!

what is the best way talking to the dealer, do i have a case, where to call?

upd. car was sold as-is. PA has a lemon law, when i tried to call they redirected me to dealer fraud who sent me to consumer protection. who sent me to their website to fill in the complain.

Ok, we were just contacted this weekend by the group and have been “invited to attend and of course give them $3000 for acting classes! I have looked up Gary Spatz online and OMG! This place is listed with every consumer protection agency and complaint board there is.

We should have known any company that approaches you at the mall is a scam. Does anyone know of any legitimate acting schools that are good? Thanks.

Obama will lose! asked:


Joe Biden voted YES for the Iraq War and was one of the strong forces that led us into Iraq, Biden is the Washington “old” school of the DC insiders, the opposite of the Obama’s fictious “change”, Biden was one of the leaders of In 2005, Joe Biden, the Democratic Senator from Delaware (home the world’s largest issuer of credit cards) was a central figure lobbying for passage of S.256 the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.Obama opposes all of the above, and Biden is the one with all the experience.

How come this is an upside down ticket? Could it be Obama’s lack of experience and judgement again?
