What we don't do and who may be able to help you
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs does not enforce the Fair Trading Act or investigate breaches of the Act. Consumers or business can contact the Commerce Commission with information about unfair or misleading trading practices, or anti-competitive behaviour by business.
The Commission does not give advice or take civil actions on behalf of the public. Consumers or businesses seeking compensation for a breach of the Act can take a civil action through the Disputes Tribunal or the District Court.
