If you have a problem with a product, first notify the company and you may be reimbursed without going through the court system.
For product complaints, usually the Attorney General of your state would be the first step toward any civil action against the company and they may even wish to pursue criminal prosecution as is often done in some states.
Court is usually a very cumbersome way of getting results. You may need to take some time from work.
But, a letter or telephone call to the Attorney Generals Office may allow you to mail your complaint and not take any time from you daily schedule.

There is no prescribed format for filing a case. You may draft your grievance in the form of a letter even, with all the supporting documents, with the necessary fees, prescribed. Depending on the amount of compensation solicited, you may file a case either in a District or State Consumer forum. It is not mandatory that you need to engage a legal practitioner to present your case. You yourself may do that. What is important is that you have to be well armed with the facts and the rules and regulations as well the relevant legal provisions, which have been violated by the service provided, for whose deficiency of service you seek compensation. A well drafted letter or petition will do half the trick. And at the time of the argument, you need not be overawed by the arguments of the legal luminaries that the offender may engage to defend his case. Be strong on your facts and use your commonsense to give strength to your case. It is a social welfare measure. The Consumer Forums are generally consumer friendly. Good luck.

No such thing. Most states have court systems divided into two main categories: civil and criminal. Within the civil side, there often is a small claims court, which has relaxed rules of procedure and is designed to allow non-attorneys to bring claims against parties for claims amounting to less than a specified dollar amount (often $2,000).

There is no consumer court. There is civil and criminal. Call you country court clerk and get a form, you file in civil court.

File a complaint enumerating therein the violations committed by the offender and the arguments must be supported by evidence.
