    Resolving Problems

    The information provided is not meant to be a substitute for legal advice.
    • If you have problems, you should first try to resolve them directly with the contractor before making the final payment. You may contact the local building inspector for assistance in resolving workmanship and code violations. 
    • Small Claims Court is another alternative if the dispute involves a sum within their jurisdiction. 
    • If your efforts to resolve the matter fail, or if you feel you have been the victim of fraud or deceit, you should contact our Commercial Enforcement Division at (517) 241-9202 to file a complaint.  Additional information on the complaint process is found on their website at Commercial Enforcement Division
