Most states have an ombudsman who deals with consumer affairs.  Check on-line with your state's site, or look in the telephone book under the general state listing.\n\nThe Attorney General's and Secretary of State's offices might also be interested; each has responsibilities involving licensing and/or state law enforcement.  If not, they would be a good source for directions.  Good luck!

I believe that there is a Yahoo Business contact that has information like that. Though I would guess that it is not free. Or there are places in the US that gather information of a consumer based on their internet usage and such. They have been in the news in recent months due to security breaches, Sorry I don't recall the name. Those would be the places that I would look for that kind of information.

Your local chapter of the Better Business Bureau should be a great place to begin filling a complaint.  If this is common behavior they may have other complaints already on file.  Your local chamber of commerce may also be a good place to look at for filling a complaint.  \nIf you live in a large city, some websites are available in regards to merchant retailers.  They provide a good way to reach a large group of people about the problems with service at this establishment.  If you live in a small area this will probably be of little help to you.  \nI think the BBB and your local chamber of commerce are your best bets for lodging a complaint, and then you will hopefully get some satisfaction.

I think this is a new area of concern and that there isn't policies as to rights set in place yet.  I could be wrong.  Talk to a lawyer.\n\nBe thankful that your company told you so you can keep an eye on your credit reports and be more aware if something looks fishy.

To answer your question very specifically, go to:\n\nwww.ftc.gov\n\nYou want to click on "Consumers" then look at the credit collection practices link and the credit reporting link.  Here are the federal laws governing specifically what they can and can not do to collect a debt.

THE PROCESS of development along with the expanding globalization and liberalization process has increased the number of consumer related issues. Consumer protection has earned an important place in the political, economic and social agendas of many nations. In India, the Government has taken many steps including legislative, to protect consumers. \nEducation is a life long process of constantly acquiring relevant information, knowledge and skills. Consumer education is an important part of this process and is a basic consumer right that must be introduced at the school level. Consumers by definition include all citizens who are, by and large the biggest group, who are affected by almost all government, public or private decisions. The most important step in consumer education is awareness of consumer rights. However, consumer education is incomplete without the responsibilities and duties of consumers, and this influences individual behavior to a great extent.\n1   Need :\nwe need it so we will not be misled by producers,it explains if what we buy is worth to our money..and not harmful to us and to environment .\nMany people are ignorant of their rights to get protected against the exploitation by so many others. So when there is a forum for such redress of grievances there seems to be no such exploitation by many; and becomes a rare one. So in order to get a clear picture of the level of exploitation of consumers, the awareness is required.

I think so. Commerical parties are trying to make money, while consumers may be affected in many other ways by the relationship (for instance, if they are buying food, medicine, or safety devices). The consumer potentially has more at stake, therefore I think they deserve greater protection.

Introduction\nTHE PROCESS of development along with the expanding globalisation and liberalisation process has increased the number of consumer related issues. Consumer protection has earned an important place in the political, economic and social agendas of many nations. In India, the Government has taken many steps including legislative, to protect consumers. \nEducation is a life long process of constantly acquiring relevant information, knowledge and skills. Consumer education is an important part of this process and is a basic consumer right that must be introduced at the school level. Consumers by definition include all citizens who are, by and large the biggest group, who are affected by almost all government, public or private decisions. The most important step in consumer education is awareness of consumer rights. However, consumer education is incomplete without the responsibilities and duties of consumers, and this influences individual behaviour to a great extent.\n\nDefinition\nConsumer awareness is making the consumer aware of His/Her rights.\nConsumer awareness it a marketing term. It means that consumers note or are aware of products or services, its characteristics and the other marketing P's (place to buy, price, and promotion). \n\nUsually commercials and ads increase consumer awareness, as well as "word of mouth" (a comment from someone you know about a product or service). \n\n   Need :\nwe need it so we will not be misled by producers,it explains if what we buy is worth to our money..and not harmful to us and to environment .\n\nMany people are ignorant of their rights to get protected against the exploitation by so many others. So when there is a forum for such redress of grievances there seems to be no such exploitation by many; and becomes a rare one. So in order to get a clear picture of the level of exploitation of consumers, the awareness is required. \n\n\nRole of producers\nproper labeling, full information, health warnings, handling information, expiration date, etc. keep to requirements, norms, standards\nlabelproducts according requirements, providing true facts\nThey have to produce and deliver the goods/services of rght quality at right price at right time at right place at right quantity with right face\n\nIf they are providing a service they should  carry it out with due skill and care. They must also make sure that any materials they provide as part of this service are fit for the purpose.\nIt is also illegal for a supplier to cut off, or threaten to cut off, supply to a reseller (wholesale or retail) because they have been discounting goods or advertising discounts below prices set by the supplier.
