you.

The Royal Gazette's monthly magazine is planning a report on consumer affairs and why local consumers are virtually helpless in the face of faulty products, extortionate bills and poor service. Short of taking your case to the Small Claims Court -- which is likely to cost you considerable time and money -- there is little option but to grit your teeth and write off claims under $1,000.

If you've got a nightmare to tell about that ruined suit or an outrageous repair bill, and can prove it, call RG on 295-5881, extension 383.
