FAQ
Questions and answers
How long does it take to resolve a complaint?
Complaints are resolved within 30 days of receipt (proposals within 90 days). If further inquiry is needed the period may be extended once by up to 30 days, and you will be notified.
Can I file anonymously?
By law, a complaint without a name and address cannot be formally accepted. If you do not want your details disclosed to the respondent, say so in your description — the Commission will protect confidentiality.
I forgot my tracking code. What now?
You can enter the last 8 digits of the phone number you registered instead of the code. The code is also in the registration slip sent to your e-mail.
Can I file on behalf of someone else?
Yes. Parents or guardians of a child or a person without legal capacity, or an authorized representative, may file. Attach proof of your authority.
What decisions does the Commission take?
It may issue demands to remedy the violation, send recommendations, write to the relevant authority or file a claim in court. If the matter is outside its jurisdiction it is referred to the competent body and you are informed.
