CONSUMER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
CPA is a member organization that invites businesses and their customers to join together to change how business will be done into the 21st century. CPA gives members and others effective tools for communication and complaint resolution no matter where or when the transaction takes place. Whether you're a business or a consumer, when someone promises to provide you with a product or service, you deserve to get what you expect!
When you receive more than you expect...let the business know with CPA's Thank You! card. And, when you don't, use CPA's You Blew It! card. As a member, you receive copies of both to hand out in person...or, send them via e-mail using the links provided.
If you need to, file a complaint following CPA's guidelines and sample complaint letter. And, if the business still doesn't do the "right thing", you can file a formal complaint with CPA. We can even provide formal arbitration services if needed.
