Consumer Complaints 2012
This study of consumer behaviour and experiences in making complaints was conducted by Amárach Research on behalf of the National Consumer Agency. Among the study’s key findings:
- 83% of consumers state that they are willing to complain if they have been dissatisfied with a good or service they have bought
- Almost 1 in 4 (23%) have had reason to complain about a product/service in the past 12 months
- 82% of those who have had cause to complain actually complained
- Faulty product/service is the main reason for making a complaint (57% of respondents)
- Fewer people find the complaints process easy – the proportion of consumers who found the process easy has fallen from 78% to 58% in the past year
The research was conducted among 1,002 people in Ireland aged 15-74 over a four-week period in June 2012.
