ACTIVITY 2 – Make a Complaint Learning Objectives • Students will develop skills on how to make a complaint by letter, in person and by phone. Key Terms • customer complaint • trader Teacher Notes Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) can help consumers deal with seeking redress from traders. Contact CAV at www.consumer.vic.gov.au or call 1300 55 81 81. Introduction Ask students: “What can a consumer do if there is a problem with goods or services?” Consumers have a right to a refund, replacement or repair if the goods were: • faulty • not suitable for the purpose intended • inaccurately represented or different from the samples shown. Explain the positive role of consumer feedback to traders. Consumer feedback provides traders with an opportunity to improve their service and ultimately attract more customers. If a complaint is legitimate, students should have no hesitation in going back to providers of the goods or services to request that the problem be fixed. “Where would you go if you couldn't resolve a problem with a trader?” Consumer Affairs Victoria can help resolve problems between you and a trader. Task - Ling's Fish Shop Distribute activity sheet titled Ling’s Fish Shop. Alternatively, students can write a letter to a trader with whom they are currently unable to resolve a consumer problem. Students can demonstrate their skills in writing a letter of complaint by completing the activity sheet titled Ling’s Fish Shop and rewriting the letter.
