When presenting a problem to a salesperson, stay calm and explain your situation. Tell the salesperson all the details of your situation, suggest that you can provide documentation (if possible), and present a fair solution. If the salesperson is not able to assist you, ask to speak to a manager. To make consumer complaints easier, make it a practice to save receipts for a certain period of time to assist you in dealing with potential future problems with an item. Also, save all warranties and guarantees associated with the product or service. We would like your feedback on this Personal Finance Frequently Asked Question.
