What Happens When You File a Complaint
 
The complaint will be reviewed to determine whether a violation of a law or regulation may have occurred.  If the evidence supports a probable violation, the complaint will be processed.  The complaint may be resolved informally or investigated further.  You may be asked to provide additional information.  The individual you filed the complaint against will typically be provided with a copy of the complaint and all other documentation you submitted.  They are then required to respond to the complaint.

The agencies and offices listed below may be helpful to you if you wish to seek a refund or adjustment to the charges:

NOTE: While the Division may accept an anonymous complaint, it will not proceed if it lacks sufficient information to support a regulatory or criminal violation.

The Division considers all complaints important.  The processing of the complaint will be conducted in as timely a manner as possible. Complaints that present an immediate threat to public safety will be given priority. 

Thank you for your patience during the complaint process.
