Consumer rights
File a consumer complaint (simple path)
Wrong product, bad service, refund refused, or unfair charges.
Who this is for
Buyers and service users facing unfair trade practice.
Real life (simple)
- An online seller takes money and never ships. Chat support only loops.
- Real-life move: keep order ID and screenshots. Use the national consumer helpline / e-daakhil path in the guide.
What to do (step by step)
- Write to the company first and keep the email/ticket.
- Give them a clear deadline (example: 7–15 days).
- Call / file on National Consumer Helpline.
- If needed, proceed to the consumer commission path with documents ready.
- Keep bills, warranty, chats, and bank proof with you.
Tips
- Be factual: what you paid, what was promised, what went wrong.
Warnings
- Deadlines matter : do not sleep on it for months without writing.
