Does the above ad look familiar? It resembles many

As consumers, UNL students are surrounded by
promises made by mail-order companies, salesmen and
businesses.
Check them out," Lois Tefft, manager of the
Cornhusker Better Business Bureau, suggests.
She advised checking any business or transaction with
the BBB before making legally binding decisions.
"We wish students would use our services more," Tefft
said, "I feel we could save them lots of headaches and
money."
The Better Business Bureau is supported by the
business community to aid the consumer, Tefft said. It is
a non-profit corporation financed by membership dues
paid by responsible business and professional firms in the
community, she added.
THE BBB can provide information about a company
before a consumer does business with it. This can be
especially beneficial with mail transactions.
Tefft said the BBB can provide information through
its inquiry reporting system. BBB maintains files on the
performance and reliability of businesses across the
country.
"Because of this, we urge consumers to call us first
with the name of a company which they have not dealt
with before, "Tefft said.
For a consumer having problems with a firm, Tefft
said, "we act as a median between the business firm and
the consumer when solving complaints.
Often, hasty decisions are a result of fast talking or
pressure salespeople", she said.
"As a consumer, don't be afraid to ask questions,"

Tefft said, "and don't be swayed by high pressure sales
tactics."
IF A SALESPERSON is applying pressure, stop, step
back and take another look, she suggested.
When approached by anyone, Tefft said, the proper
procedure is to ask for the company's name and check it
out.
If a dishonest company knows a consumer is doing
this, they usually will not pursue the customer further,
Tefft said.
"It is important to understand that in almost any door-door-to-door
sale there is a contract Involved. This is a
legal and binding document", Tefft said.
"Make sure you are willing to abide by the contract
agreements before signing It,"
Tefft said mail-order companies pose the most
problems. When dealing with mail-order firms, it is
important that the advertisement indicates the name and
address of the company, not just a post office box
number, she said.
Tefft said to allow four to six weeks for a delivery. If
the merchandise has not arrived, or the consumer has not
heard from the company within six weeks, write the
company, she suggested. If the consumer receives no
response a written complaint should be submitted to the
BBB, she said.
It is important to keep the cancelled check, mail-order
receipt or other proof that payment was made.
"We are successful in dealing with these companies 90
percent of the time,'1 Tefft said.
She explained that when a consumer has a complaint
about a business, the BBB first tries to deal with the
situation through arbitration. An attorney hears both
sides of the story and tries to work out an out-of-court
solution, Tefft said.
The BBB, if it has to, will pursue a case in court, she
said.
