Telephone consultation on consumer troubles related to the new coronavirus began on the 6th.
The telephone counseling named "Consumer Trouble Weekend Telephone Counseling in Corona" is provided by the "National Consumer Life Counselors Association" made up of counselors from consumer affairs centers nationwide. At the office in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, a specialist counselor answered the phone and received consultations regarding cancellation of the online course that started due to the influence of Corona.
According to the association, there
are a series of consultations such as ▽
a mask that I do not remember ordering arrived,
▽ a high cancellation fee was charged if I canceled the wedding ceremony to prevent infection, and
▽ the time spent at home became longer. As a result, consultations regarding online shopping, which is increasing in use, are also conspicuous.
