State government consumer offices can be helpful because they are easy to contact and are familiar with the state's businesses and laws. State consumer offices are set up differently across the nation. Some states have separate departments of consumer affairs, while others have a consumer affairs office as part of the governor's office or attorney general's office.
Pueblo, CO 81009 Contacting State Consumer Offices

When you contact any state consumer office, you will need copies of the sales receipts and other sales documents as well as all correspondence that you have had with the company.
