Final Response Timeline Guidelines
Summary
Companies can have multi-tier complaint procedures if compliant with industry standards. If a company doesnt follow its procedure, you may consider court action, but try resolution through an ombudsman first. Before court, invite negotiation to avoid costs. Include evidence in communications and follow sector-specific guidelines.Full Conversation
if I make a complaint and they respond the first time saying they deny everything, can I write back demanding a final decision at that point?
If they deny your complaint initially, you can certainly write back requesting a final decision. However, it's typical to allow them up to * weeks to provide their final response. If unresolved, consider escalating to an ombudsman or relevant authority. Is your complaint related to a specific sector?
they lied on their initial response too and I provided additional information to challenge what they said, ending the letter by requesting their final response within the next 14 days. is that ok?
It's okay to request a final response within 14 days, especially if you've provided additional information challenging their initial response. However, be aware that some sectors might have specific guidelines for response times. If they don't comply, consider escalating to an ombudsman or relevant authority. Is your complaint related to a specific industry or sector?
is a company allowed to have a * tier complaints procedure where you complain through their admin team, are escalated to their manager and then must request an escalation to their director?
Case Rating: *
Yes, a company can establish a *-tier complaints procedure if it complies with relevant industry standards and regulations. It's common for companies to have multiple levels of complaint handling to ensure thorough review. Each sector may have specific rules, so it's worth checking any sector-specific guidelines.

If they have not followed their own complaints procedure and closed my complaint within a week of their last correspondence, must I complete their process or can I send a pre-claim letter for court action at this stage?
Case Rating: *
You generally need to follow the company's complaints procedure before sending a pre-claim letter. However, if they've not adhered to their process or resolved the issue, you might consider court action. It's often wise to attempt resolution through an ombudsman first. What industry is the complaint related to?

how can I invite them to negotiate before the pre-claim letter when they have denied my complaint so far and lied to me about events
Case Rating: *
You can invite them to negotiate by sending a polite yet firm letter outlining your concerns, the evidence you have, and your willingness to resolve the issue amicably. Emphasize the benefits of negotiation, such as saving time and costs associated with court action. Would you like more guidance on drafting this letter?

would that be in a pre-claim letter or a letter before that?
Case Rating: *
The invitation to negotiate would typically occur before sending a pre-claim letter. It's a separate communication aimed at resolving the issue amicably. If you need more guidance on drafting such a letter, feel free to ask!

is there such a thing as a pre-pre-claim letter lol?
Case Rating: *
Haha, there's no official "pre-pre-claim letter," but you can certainly send a letter inviting negotiation before a pre-claim letter. It's all about informal communication to resolve issues before going to court. Is your complaint related to a specific industry or sector?

is that how I should see it then?
Case Rating: *
The steps you mentioned are generally correct. Before taking legal action, it's wise to exhaust all resolution avenues, including negotiation and escalating to an ombudsman or relevant authority.
