Although majority of the companies are adamant and recalcitrant but a few companies may resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of consumer on receipt of legal notice. The company may or may not agree to compensate. In one of the posts in LCI Citibank settled the matter and paid compensation in response to the complaint posted to them.
kumar t v s (advocate) 14 October 2011
For a consumer complaint the cause of action arises when a there is a consumer dispute.
A dispute arises when there is a demand and other side refuses to rectify/compensate.
If in your case a dispute is evident, notice may be dispensed with, other wise a formal notice is advisable.
Y. T. R. Rao, Advocate, VIZAG (ADVOCATE) 14 October 2011
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPENSATE THE CLAIM.
