Protecting Idaho Families Against Unfair, Fraudulent, and Deceptive Marketplace Practices:
The Office of the Attorney General assists consumers with complaints against unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices. The complaint form can be found at https://www.ag.idaho.gov/office-resources/online-forms. The consumer also has the option to inform our office without requesting action, or may request an informal dispute resolution process from our investigator team. Sometimes issues that may not fall specifically under the authority of the Idaho Consumer Protection Act can be resolved by consumers and businesses working together in this process with our assistance.
