Used auto sales, once again, topped the list of complaints consumers filed last year with Iowa’s Consumer Protection Division.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says over 2,800 written complaints were investigated last year and 207 related to used vehicle sales practices.

 

Following used auto sales, consumers issued the most complaints about home improvement work, followed by home mortgage terms.

 

Miller suggests doing your homework before signing on the dotted line with any major purchase. “Deal with people who have a good reputation,” Miller said. “You can contact the Better Business Bureau, for instance.”
