Here are the consumer complaints the experts will answer questions about:
Appliance Repairs
If you’ve ever had an oven, dishwasher or refrigerator go on the fritz, you might also be familiar with the endless cycle consumers can get stuck in trying to get them repaired or replaced. The struggle is real! What’s the best way to navigate the process and get results?
Home Warranties
Peace of mind? Or just a piece of paper? Because a house is the most significant purchase many ever make, it makes sense to say yes to coughing up a few extra hundred dollars for warranty coverage. But is it really worth it?
Banking Complaints
Hacked accounts, fraudulent charges and overdraft fees are just a few of the top gripe-getters we hear about from banking customers. How do I battle a bank? What are my rights?
Internet Scams
Free trial offers, gift card scams, deceptive online marketers -- there’s no shortage of internet scams. How do they work? Who’s behind them? And what should I do if I’m a victim?

Car Repairs
My car is a lemon. My car has been recalled. My car has a defective part. My car dealer won’t repair my car. What do I do?!
Wireless Woes
We can’t live without them, but dealing with a cell phone company can make us want to try. The complaints we hear most: My wireless provider is over-billing me. They won’t honor an advertised promotion. My account has been hacked and my wireless provider won’t help. What are these hidden fees and do I have to pay them?
Parking Tickets
It's the one thing all drivers love to hate. From unfair parking tickets to red light violations, how can I fight a ticket and actually win?
Contractors
Shoddy work. No-shows. My contractor took my money and never finished the project. Just a few of the complaints we hear about the chaos contractors can leave behind.
