your name, address and tele-
phone number; the name and
type of product purchased, date
of purchase and price paid; an_
outline of your problem and
your attempts to solve it;
copies of receipts, work orders
and any other documentation;
and what you want the com-
pany to do about your problem.

the merchant to exchange your
purchase or make alternate
arrangements.

leading or deceptive represen-
tations. To cancel a contract,
send a registered letter which

rescission under Section 4 of
the Business Practices Act."
Include your reasons for
making the request.

Services Bureau and the

help in preparing letters of
complaint or cancellation. If
