We accept reports where people consider a business is doing something they shouldn’t. We use the reports to inform our education, compliance and enforcement work.
- When a business sells a product or service that doesn’t meet basic rights, known as consumer guarantees, it must offer the consumer a solution.
- Businesses must not tell consumers to take the problem to the manufacturer or importer.
- When a product has a major problem, consumers can choose between a refund or replacement.
- When a service has a major problem, consumers have a right to alter their agreement with the service provider.
- Businesses must fix a minor problem with a product or service by at least giving a free repair.

Sorry, I’d prefer not to since they are a local retailer and this was in 2012, so maybe, just maybe, they’ve upped their game by now.

Perhaps, but in this case my privacy is more important and I can already warn IT people in my local community. If this were a business with multiple stores, then my answer would be different.
