WITHIN 48 HOURS

Choose Your Resolution Path

You have two options: (A) Settle directly with the consumer through negotiation, or (B) Join our Mediation Program where we facilitate negotiation and help both sides reach a fair resolution. Silence is not an option.

3
BEFORE DEADLINE

Respond Formally

Submit your response or settlement offer before the deadline expires. Late responses show bad faith and increase the likelihood of court escalation, enforcement action, and legal judgments against your business.

4
AFTER DEADLINE

Legal Consequences Begin

If unresolved: Your profile displays negative status publicly, the consumer files in court, you face legal judgment, wage garnishment becomes possible, and it becomes a permanent public record damaging your business reputation indefinitely.

Two Paths to Resolution

Both resolve this quickly and avoid court. Choose what works for your business.

RECOMMENDED

Path B: Mediation Program

The Escalation Chain: Why Ignoring This Backfires

Consequences compound at each stage. Stopping it early saves thousands.

1

Profile Reputation Damage

DAY 0-14

Your business is marked 'Unresolved Complaint' publicly. Potential customers see this. Trust is immediately damaged.

💸 Cost: Reputation hit
2

Court Filing Initiated

DAY 15+

Consumer files in small claims court. You receive official summons. This becomes a legal proceeding.

💸 Cost: $50-200 filing fee
3

Default Judgment (If Ignored)

DAY 30-45

You don't show up or respond to court summons. Judge awards in consumer's favor automatically. You lose without being heard.

💸 Cost: Settlement + costs + 10% interest
4

Enforcement Action

DAY 45+

Judgment is now enforceable. Court can order wage garnishment (25% of wages withheld), bank levies, or asset seizure.

💸 Cost: $1,000-5,000+ in fees
5

Public Record Forever

PERMANENT

Judgment is permanently searchable online. Banks, customers, investors, partners all see it when researching your business.

💸 Cost: Business credibility destroyed

Don't Let It Get This Far

Each stage costs exponentially more. Settling within 7-14 days costs $0 in additional fees.

Settlement Now = Maximum Savings
