Common Questions
How do response deadlines vary by country?
UK has strict 8-week rules for regulated industries. US deadlines vary by agency (CFPB: 15 days, FCC: 30 days). Australia uses AFCA (45 days) and TIO (15 days). EU and Canada have their own frameworks.
What if they don't respond at all?
In most countries, failure to respond within the regulatory deadline is itself grounds to escalate. This might be to an ombudsman (UK/AU), federal agency (US), or consumer tribunal.
What's a deadlock or final response letter?
A final response letter means the company has given their final decision. In most jurisdictions, you can escalate immediately without waiting for the full deadline period.
Tips for Success

- Keep a record of dates and responses
- Ask for a complaint reference number
- Request a deadlock letter if stuck
- Don't accept 'we're still investigating' forever
