Living in USA as a consumer, life is usually pretty good. But, at times, you would be mis-treated by the company or individual entity you are dealing with. For example, your home appraiser doesn't use the correct criteria for evaluating your house value; your handyman over-charged you for his sloppy service; the shopping site you bought a product from sent you an inferior product and refused to refund, etc.
In all these cases, you may want to file a complaint. But, where to file the complaint and how to get your voice heard?
Below is a list that I assembled and I will add more over time, for filing complaints for bad services.
