A new consumer self-help website has been launched today by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
The new consumer protection website provides information for consumers in New Zealand covering everything from scams and identity theft to mortgages, parking and solving complaints.
Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Paul Goldsmith officially launched the redeveloped Consumer Protection website today at a forum in Wellington.
"The new website makes things easier for consumers," said Goldsmith. "All New Zealanders can use this website to access straight-forward content about what needs to be done before, during and after purchasing a product or service."
The website also includes guides to credit and finance, online safety, policies, the Consumer Guarantees Act, Fair Trading Act and contract and sales agreements.
