On Monday 11 May at 12.30 pm, CABNZ will be chatting with Whānau Āwhina Plunket about consumer rights and how people can use knowledge about their consumer rights to protect themselves and save money.

We welcome you to join us for the live Facebook chat, where we will cover topics like:

• What to do when a good or service is faulty or doesn't meet the standard you were promised
• Your rights when a product or service doesn't match its advertising or description
• The difference between buying from a business vs. a private seller - and why it matters

If you're dealing with a dodgy appliance, a tradesperson who didn't deliver, or a marketplace listing that wasn't quite what it seemed, this could be the chat for you. Come and listen in!
