If a consumer has a complaint about a business, an intake investigator will gather information about the problem. If the complaint involves a possible violation of a consumer protection law, the complaint is referred to a supervisor for review. However, in most instances, the problem does not involve a violation of a law but is a contract dispute between a consumer and a business, contractor or landlord. In such cases, intake investigators conduct informal meditations by phone or letter. The mediation process is often successful. If mediation is not successful and no law has been broken, the consumer will have to contact an attorney to take further action. e24fc04721
