I don't know if you read Consumerist as obsessively as I do, but I get a thrill out of hearing about ordinary consumers who are sticking it to The Man by not letting The Man stick it to them. But not everyone is equally savvy about how to be a strong, empowered consumer and not get screwed by Big Business, so here's a handy reference guide: the Consumer Action Handbook. You can read it online, download a PDF, or request a print copy (though it is currently being reprinted).
"This everyday guide to being a smart shopper is hot off the press and chock-full of helpful tips about preventing identity theft, understanding credit, filing a consumer complaint, and much more. In the 2009 edition, you'll find updated information about filing for bankruptcy, finding a lawyer, and planning a funeral, along with many other useful topics."
Never be fleeced again!
