Five Smart Consumer Tips from the 2013 Consumer Action Handbook:


The Handbook is your annual go-to guide for practical information to help you plan a purchase, know your consumer rights, and file a consumer complaint.


Here are the top five tips to help you be a smart consumer this year:

5. A deal that sounds too good to be true usually is. Offers that often fall into this category are promises to fix your credit problems, low-interest credit cards, deals that let you skip credit card payments, business/job opportunities, risk-free investments and free travel.

4. Read and understand any contract or legal document you sign. Don’t sign a contract with blank spaces or where the terms are incomplete.

3. Protect your privacy and personal information. It’s easy to complete many transactions online these days, but each time you do, you provide more opportunities for your personal information to be stolen.

2. Know the right person to contact. Sometimes all you need to do is get the right person on the phone to get your problem resolved.

1. Complain smartly. You can work out problems if you’re unhappy with a product you purchased.
