Resources for You and Your Business
UPBA hosted the Ohio Attorney General’s office at our February Safety Seminar. Attendees learned all about the AG’s new Small Business Consumer Complaint Program. The program, which was launched by Cordray with a pilot project in July 2009, opened the Attorney General’s consumer complaint process to include complaints not only from individual consumers, but also now from small businesses and nonprofits. Since the pilot launch, the office has received complaints involving bad business practices that included deceptive advertising, billing disputes, unauthorized charges, and shoddy workmanship or services.
 
Cordray encourages small businesses that experience unfair practices such as scams, deceptive advertising, shoddy workmanship, billing disputes, unauthorized charges, monopolies, or boycotting by competitors or any illegal conduct, to contact his office by calling 800-282-0515 or by visiting www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/Business.
