VerifiedHi! My name is***** a solicitor in Australia, and I’m happy to help you.
I suggest you issue written correspondence to the company explaining the problem and request a response within 72 hours.
Once a company receives a written response, it will act quickly.
Many people around Australia are having the same issue.
You can issue the complaint on the company's website. You may also send correspondence by Express Post to the head office.
If no reply is received, then commence proceedings in the local tribunal.
You can sue for compensation.
You do not need a lawyer to apply with the tribunal, and you can run the case yourself.
Does this help with your question today?
