Denver, CO 80237
United States
The Troubleshooter Network was created by Tom Martino to
disseminate all of the valuable information gathered by Tom, his
staff, trusted experts and listeners.
While Tom's radio shows are at the heart of this effort, TN's
reach is not limited to the radio airwaves. The network also
provides troubleshooter.com -- a comprehensive website featuring a
wealth of consumer information plus ReferralList.com -- Pre-screened and monitored
merchants and service professionals. To get on this list,
businesses must first qualify to be members by showing a track
record of excellent customer service. In addition, they must
demonstrate a willingness to continue meeting high business
standards by agreeing to a strict code of ethics and an
arbitration arrangement for settling disputes.
Another vital service is the Troubleshooter HelpCenter where
friendly consumer counselors provide all of the same information
and referrals by telephone and give direct help in solving
consumer problems or answering consumer questions.
If you think you have been lied to, ripped off or cheated in
any transaction or if you have consumer questions and concerns
call at any time.
If you call during show times your call will be automatically
routed to our studio where your call will be taken on the air. At
all other times, you will either speak to a consumer counselor or
you may need to leave voicemail.
