Ready Reference Guide


The Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection publishes and updates a “Ready Reference Guide.” The guide includes more than 250 pages of useful consumer contacts. Examples include local, state, and federal agencies, Wisconsin district attorneys, and Better Business Bureau offices. The “Ready Reference Guide” can be downloaded online.

Consumer Protection urges consumers to check the “Ready Reference Guide” prior to contacting our office. The guide is broken down by topic and gives the proper contact information for each topic. Doing this bit of research will likely get you in touch with the proper agency or organization the first time around.
