A demand letter is often enough and is a good step before small claims. “Fix my problem in ten days or get sued in small claims court", sent via certified mail to their designated agent for legal service in your jurisdiction, can often solve your problem.
- dkersten 8y agoGood suggestion. There's definitely a series of steps to go through before any time consuming and expensive lawyering up is needed.
- ThrustVectoring 8y agoSmall claims court often does not require a lawyer. But yeah, the general process of "document things and escalate using said documentation to people whose job it is to make sure expensive lawsuits and regulatory actions don't happen" is an excellent choice.
- dkersten 8y agoOh, I know, I said that in my other comment: where I am, it requires little more than filling out the claim form and paying the fee (and giving them more info if requested). Its only if you want to appeal that you may need a lawyer, or if you want to sue in a normal court. I just meant that there’s a bunch of steps you can do, including small claims, before needing a lawyer.
