Transcription de la présentation

  1. Formal Writing Consumer Complaints

  2. After the purchase…you hope to be happy

  3. But, What If… • …Things go wrong?!?! • Today we will focus on how to file effective consumer complaints. • Why would consumers need to complain? • Have you ever complained to a business?

  4. Recent Complaints • The Case of the Fruit Cocktail • The Case of the Tainted Books

  5. Resolving Consumer Complaints • It is your right to complain if there is a genuine problem • Your problem can’t be fixed unless someone knows about it!

  6. How to resolve complaints • First step = contact the seller in person/by phone • Most problems can be solved by talking to a salesperson or a CSR • Do this as soon as possible • Some stores have time limits on returns/refunds • If you are not satisfied after speaking with “front-line” employee, ask for a manager

  7. If that doesn’t work… • Try going higher up and contact the national headquarters (if it is a chain) or the manufacturer of the item

  8. What to say when complaining • As much “how you say it” as “what you say.” • Remain calm and accurately describe problem • Suggest what action you want to have taken • Don’t be ambiguous • “I would like to have a replacement” • “I would like to have a refund”

  9. The written complaint letter • Sometimes issues can not be resolved in person or over the phone • Letters provide a good way to voice your concerns • You will have a copy of your complaint on record • You can organize your thoughts in a precise way • Less pressure than face-to-face confrontation

  10. Complaint Letters • Be brief and to the point (don’t ramble) • Note all facts about the purchase • Serial/model number on product • Name/location of seller • When you made the purchase • State exactly what you want done about the problem • Don’t be psycho • Include copies of all documents related to purchase

  11. Sample Complaint Letter • Source: Sample consumer complaint letter • http://www.usa.gov/topics/consumer/complaint/complaint-letter.shtml

  12. If all else fails! • File a complaint with the appropriate governmental agency • Check Consumer Action Handbook for list of Government Agencies and the complaints they handle • File a complaint with your local Better Business Bureau • http://www.bbb.org/ • Small Claims Court • WI, max is $10,000 • WI small claims court
