been charged or convicted in relation to the Consumer Protection Act or other acts of the ministry

Search tips:

You can search using the full or partial name of the business or individual. For example, searching using the letters "oronto" will return records with the words "Toronto" and "Desoronto".

You can also use % in the place of some letters if you don't know the exact spelling of the name. For example, searching using "SM%H", your search will return records such as SMITH, SMYTH, SMITHSON etc.

Please note:

Not all consumer complaints submitted to the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery are posted to the Consumer Beware List. A business or individual is only guilty of the offences in the "charges laid" section of the search results when they are found guilty in a court of law.
