FAQ

Where do I file the complaint if the notice is ignored?

Is there a time limit?

A consumer complaint must be filed within two years from the date the cause of action arose.

Is a legal notice sent by me valid, or must a lawyer send it?

In most places a notice sent by you is valid, but a notice from a lawyer carries more weight. For high-value or contested matters, have a lawyer check it first.

By registered post with acknowledgement, courier with proof of delivery, or a tracked e-mail where the other side's address is known. Keep every receipt.
