  Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic our family vacation to Tokyo was cancelled. I booked the flights and hotels through Travelocity, and was having a really hard time getting in touch with anyone for refund. The company kept telling me I was only eligible for flight credit; despite conflicting information directly from the airline itself - 3rd party travel booking sites are a mess right now in the middle of this pandemic, and I was out a considerable amount of money. I utilized the arbitration services available through the NM AG's office, and Julie (who was assigned to my case) was AMAZING! She got everything squared away for me, and I ended up getting the full refund for my flights and hotel. She is an absolute GEM, and she deserves a raise! She saved me a lot of headache, countless phone calls and time waiting on hold, and gave our family so much financial peace of mind during this really difficult time. I honestly cannot thank her and the State AG enough for protecting my consumer interests. Job well done, and it is sincerely appreciated!

  I have contacted the Department of Justice many times when they were they were known as the Attorney General's Office. That's when they were there for the public. Now I contacted them and all they told me to do was hire an attorney. What a disappointment and wasteful use of tax payer money.

  I filed a complaint with the NMDOJ, against the NM Board of Veterinary Medicine, because the Board had violated one of its own rules. Included with the Boards' complaint form is the description of the process & it states "the committee's recommendation and the Boards' determination are based on the merits of the case." The Board didn't do that with a complaint I'd filed & it exposed the fact that the Board had done the same thing with my two previous complaints. The vet in this one had reviewed a photo I'd submitted via the hospitals' WEAVE system & told me everything looked fine, the oozing holes (in my horses' sutures) would close up & not to worry. Ten days later that same area was found to be severely infected. My horse suffered pain & a burden on his immune system that he otherwise wouldn't have had to while I had to spend more money & provide more care to him. From what I learned about the elements of malpractice, the actions of this vet fit the description or in the least gross negligence, both being violations listed in the Veterinary Practice Act. I got a copy of the audio recording of the hearing & learned that after the investigator finished presenting my complaint to the Board, one of the members asked if they'd had a complaint similar to this one last year. He was told yes, there had been 2 involving the same horse. Then he said, "Yeah, & the reason I'm asking that, because ultimately . . is this the one where, uh, they were upset that it got West Nile Virus but yet they had never vaccinated?" & he was told yes. He then said, "Okay. Uh, I move then that we dismiss this one." The vote was taken & my complaint was dismissed. The Board not only hadn't based their determination on the merits of this complaint, but they'd claimed the merits that had warranted the dismissal of my 2 previous complaints were what warranted dismissal of this one, & it was all false. My horses' vaccination status had had absolutely nothing to do with the vets failures to treat hi

  After Midas in Albuquerque ripped off my wife ($700 for a car battery), I complained to the NM Attorney General's office. I was contacted a short time later by a nice attorney with the office, who actually seemed to care. He contacted the business, and checked back with me a few weeks later to see if anything had happened. (Unfortunately, the answer was no.) Although I didn't get so much as an apology from Midas, let alone a refund, I can tell you that the AG in New Mexico is far more interested in helping consumers than the AG in my own state of Colorado, where all you get is a form letter telling you to contact the Better Business Bureau.

  I had a company sell my info, despite clearly stating they do not do that. I received spam calls, at times 2 a minute, 84 a day. They have turned my life into a living hell not to mention violated several laws. I filed a complaint and they declined to do anything about it. Told me to hire an attorney. A shining example of wasted taxpayer dollars. Have a problem? Do not waste your time. But do remember our attorney general come time to vote. Despite my certainly not being the only one to be going through this, his office will do nothing. Couldn't even send a letter to the violators. Just one screenshot of many attached
