A complaint filed in writing with a promised reply date gives you a clear point to follow up from.
Compare the days since you filed with the response window the company or agency stated, and show what to do next.
Consumers waiting for a reply to a written complaint that named a response window.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Read the confirmation or letter. Write down the response time the company or agency stated.
Count calendar days from the date you filed. Keep the filing confirmation with your notes.
Compare the days since filing with the stated window. Note whether the window has passed.
If the window passed, send a dated follow-up that quotes the original complaint and the promised date.
If there is still no reply, look up the agency that handles that type of complaint on USA.gov.
You filed 45 days ago and the company promised a reply within 30 days. The window passed 15 days ago, so a dated follow-up is due.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
