Mistakes we see every month
Not preserving purchase receipts
The Harm: Without proof of purchase, your complaint has no foundation. The company will simply deny the transaction.
How we prevent it: We advise you on what to preserve from day one. Even warranty registration emails and SMS confirmations are admissible.
Waiting too long to complain
The Harm: Consumer complaints must be filed within 2 years of the cause of action. Beyond that, your right is extinguished.
How we prevent it: Contact us as soon as you face a consumer problem, even if you are still trying to resolve it directly with the company.
Not claiming full compensation
The Harm: Many consumers only claim a refund. But the Consumer Protection Act allows you to claim compensation for mental agony, physical harm, and the legal costs you incurred, claim everything you are entitled to.
How we prevent it: We always draft complaints claiming the full compensation available under law.
Fees, discussed upfront
Consumer complaints have a very low court fee (paid to the government, ₹100 to ₹5,000 depending on the claim amount). Our professional fees are structured to be accessible for individual consumers.
We assess the strength of your matter candidly in the first consultation. We do not take up weak matters that will waste your time and money.
