Consumer Complaints or Questions

There are a number of ways you can file a consumer complaint or ask us a consumer questions. When we receive your message, we will determine whether it is suitable to refer to our Consumer Mediation Service. The Attorney General's Consumer Mediation Service is a free service to Maine consumers who have a problem with a business.

In many cases, the best response is for us to provide you with practical information about how to resolve your problem. Here is how you can contact us:
