The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) recently released a list of the most common consumer complaints filed with their department in 2009.  Here’s a list of the top ten complaints, along with some helpful information that we’ve included.  If you have additional tips that would be useful to our readers, please leave a comment below or contact us.

1. Violations of the No-Call Law List

Adding your phone number to the Wisconsin No-Call List should prevent most telemarketers from calling.  However, judging by the 2,187 complaints from this year, violations of the law are fairly common.  Under current law, non-profit organizations, political candidates, and elected officials are all allowed to solicit you even if you are on the No-Call List.

To sign up for the list, visit the Wisconsin No Call List website or call (866)-9NO-CALL.

To file a No-Call complaint, fill out this form on the DATCP website.
