Today we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you.
Andrew is here live on Wednesday from 9.30am for your questions.

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.

It’s good to have a place to go where you can get help with this stuff, where it won’t cost you anything, and the help is confidential and non-judgemental.
CAB is that place. We will awhi you (show support) with information and advice and connect you with any specialist services you may need. We will help you understand what your rights are and can help you with your next steps.
It doesn’t matter what your issue is – employment, renting, a relationship matter, an immigration issue, or a consumer problem – we’re here to help you.
You can contact us through our CAB freephone number 0800 367 222, pop in to see us at CAB New Plymouth (no appointment needed) or visit our website at cab.org.nz to kōrero (speak) with us online or email us.
We have a team of trained CAB volunteers delivering our service of information and advice to the public. This means when you come to us for help, you get to speak with a real person if you want to.
You don’t have to be a New Zealand citizen or resident to get help from us. We’re here for everyone.
No matter who you are; if you need help and don’t know who to ask – ask us!
