Help for searching complaint records

We encourage you to follow these tips when searching our complaint records:

  • The "Company Name" field includes built-in "wild card" characters at the beginning and end of the name entered.  For example, when you search for "blinds", the results will automatically display "Blinds To Go," "Next Day Blinds,", etc.
  • Searches work best when only one word from the Company Name is entered.
  • Do NOT use apostrophes in a name, instead of entering "Kenny's" use "Kenny" as a wildcard.
  • After you enter part of the Company Name, click on "Search" to display records.
  • When searching for a Company that has more than one location or franchise locations, multiple records for that Company may be displayed.  Search results may sometimes include a record with the address of the Company's corporate headquarters.  The address is displayed to help consumers correctly identify the Company.
