The BEAR discussed the consumer outreach program on April 28, 2009. Please visit the following web site. www.takechargeca.ca.gov  We should include a link to this from our web site and get servicers with web sites to do the same.

The mission of the California Department of Consumer Affairs is to protect and serve consumers while ensuring a fair and competitive marketplace. We protect and serve consumers by making available information that educates them about their rights and responsibilities. We help ensure a competent and fair marketplace by establishing minimum standards of competency in over 100 business and 200 professional categories - including doctors, dentists, cosmetologists, contractors, and automotive repair shops.
