Examine your bills. Call customer service to clarify or contest unusual or unexpected charges.

Step3

Document your efforts to seek resolution with your service provider. Routinely record the date, the name of the person with whom you spoke, and details of your conversation.

Step4

Save copies of e-mail and letters. (See "Write a Complaint Letter," under Related eHows.)

Step5

Notify the Federal Communications Commission and file either an informal or formal complaint if necessary.

Tips & Warnings

Enlist the help of one of the customer complaint sites that have sprung up. UGetHeard.com offers templates for you to type your complaint, along with what you would like the company to do. It then forwards the complaint to the company and follows up. Feedback Direct and The Complaint Station, likewise, will send complaints to the appropriate parties and will log in the number of complaints a company receives.
