The division maintains and facilitates a consumer complaint mediation program in which it mediates complaints between consumers and businesses with voluntary participation by the businesses. The division maintains a database of the filing and resolutions of filed complaints and consumers may obtain this complain history and related information.
In addition, the division initiates investigations and pursue legal actions for violation of laws enforced by the division, including on a statewide, regional, or national basis, and coordinates and participates in joint investigations and legal actions with local, state, and federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
