When the economy is uncertain, it's even more important to watch every dime. To help you get the most bang for your buck, avoid credit problems, and resolve shopping hassles, order the 2009 edition of the free Consumer Action Handbook from the Federal Citizen Information Center.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, this year's Consumer Action Handbook continues to provide top-notch tips and advice for common consumer issues like < http://consumeraction.gov/caw_automobiles_buying_used_general.shtml > buying a car, < http://consumeraction.gov/caw_credit_tips_improving.shtml> building good credit and < http://consumeraction.gov/caw_privacy_general_tips.shtml> protecting your privacy.

Has an airline ever damaged your luggage? Ever bought something online or by phone and it was nothing like they promised? Turn to the Consumer Action Handbook's < http://consumeraction.gov/caw_problems_sample_complaint.shtml>sample complaint letter. It shows you how to vent effectively about the situation and get the matter resolved. You can get the right address for the company in the Handbook's "Consumer Contacts" sectionfeaturing thousands of consumer contacts at businesses, federal agencies, state and local consumer offices, and national consumer organizations.
The Consumer Action Handbook is also at your service online at http://www.consumeraction.gov. Search the website to easily access and download all of the information in the printed edition, plus keep up with the latest consumer news and product recalls.
Spanish speakers can get the information they need from the Consumer Action Handbook's companion publication: the Guía del Consumidor.

A shaky economy reminds you of the importance of watching your money. Turn to the Consumer Action Handbook to help you protect your hard-earned cash.
