Defective goods such as vehicles, mobile phones, laptops, electronics, home appliances, furniture, machinery or other consumer products may be challenged if the product is defective, repeatedly fails, is not repaired properly, or the seller/manufacturer refuses replacement, refund or warranty benefit.
Can compensation be claimed in a consumer case?

Is a legal notice compulsory before filing a consumer case?
A legal notice is not compulsory in every consumer case. However, it is often useful because it records the grievance, demands relief, preserves the timeline, gives the opposite party an opportunity to resolve the issue and helps show that the grievance was not properly addressed.

Generally, important documents may include bills, receipts, agreements, payment proof, policy documents, rejection letters, medical records, bank statements, warranty cards, service records, photographs, videos, emails, WhatsApp messages, complaint acknowledgments, legal notices and replies.
