Send a free inquiry about a California matter. A participating firm may respond if available; response and representation are not guaranteed.
Identify the company, product or account type and the result you want reviewed. Note any written complaint, response, collection lawsuit or dispute already underway.
Where the transaction occurred and the company, regulator or court identified on relevant papers.
What steps have already been taken, and what evidence supports the disputed charge, report or service?

Describe what was promised, what was delivered and how the business responded to your request for correction. Preserve receipts, terms and communications, and state the remedy you are seeking.
Include the California city, the date of any notice and the current stage. These examples explain the information needed for an inquiry, not a determination that a claim is valid.

Identify the city and county, the people or organizations involved, and any date printed on a notice. Summarize the records in the form; do not upload sensitive documents.
