    First the consumer is informed of his rights in a particular consumer problem and who s/he should approach in the concerned company or the organization.
    If the problem remains unresolved s/he would be directed to take up the matter with industry level bodies or chambers of commerce, industry regulators (as they exist in sectors like insurance and banking) or Govt. officials who are in charge of the relevant industrial sector.
