Consumer Complaint Form

The OSBC will review completed consumer assistance requests and supporting documentation in order to open a case. Once the complaint has been processed, and if the company is within our regulatory authority, you will receive a letter informing you of the case number, and we will begin our review/investigation.  Please be advised that consumer assistance requests are worked in the order that they are received.  We work diligently to process complaints as quickly as possible.  However, due to the volume of complaints received, processing time may vary.

The consumer assistance form and documentation you submit may be provided to the company for review. We are unable to determine upfront how long it will take to investigate, but when our review is complete, we will advise you of the findings.

The OSBC cannot act as your attorney or provide you with any legal advice. Our regulation is limited to the statutes within our jurisdiction. We do not have the authority to enforce, rescind, or adjudicate contractual agreements, nor will we impede a court decision or determine culpability regarding verbal disputes. If you choose to pursue a lawsuit against a company, you will need to hire your own attorney. Your own attorney can investigate and may be able to take action on your behalf even if we determine this office is unable to assist you. Please remember the law may limit the time for legal action, and the cost of any private attorney would be your responsibility.
