Sending a Complaint for Referral

Introduction As part of working a complaint, you may realize that it needs to be referred to another agency (e.g., the consumer submitted the complaint to the wrong regulatory agency). You can only refer a complaint prior to information requests being sent to the company. If information requests are not sent to the company, you can refer a complaint any time prior to closure.

Note: All Complaint Supervisors and Managers can refer a complaint to another agency. See SES Agency System Roles and Groups for more information.

Sending a Complaint for Referral 1. Navigate to your complaint. 2. Click Related Actions .
