Not sure if your scenario qualifies? Here are some examples of cases that may be eligible for compensation—and those that typically are not.
A gym billed you for six months after you canceled your membership and refused to refund. ~Eligible
A washing machine under warranty stopped working, and the company refused to repair or replace it. ~Eligible
A restaurant delivered your food 10 minutes late without causing additional harm or loss. You asked for a discount on your food but they declined. ~Not Eligible
At a spa, staff accused you of stealing services in front of other customers, called security, and had you removed without cause, leading to humiliation and lasting emotional impact. ~Eligible
A moving company lost your items and refused to provide compensation despite a signed contract. ~Eligible
A haircut didn’t turn out how you wanted, but the stylist followed your instructions. ~Not Eligible
A pet boarding facility ignored warnings about separating large and small dogs. Your small dog was attacked, requiring emergency surgery, and you experienced ongoing emotional distress due to their negligence. ~Eligible
You damaged an electronic device by using it in a way that contradicts the manufacturer’s guidelines or warnings, making the company not liable. ~Not Eligible
A hotel charged your credit card for damages without informing you or showing evidence. ~Eligible
These examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not guarantee outcomes. Results depend on the specific circumstances of each case, the supporting documentation provided, and the company’s response. My opinion on what is or is not eligible for compensation is based on consumer advocacy experience and principles, not on a law degree.
The cases that typically have the highest success rates involve clear documentation, specific harms, and violations of consumer protection laws. Examples include:
Overcharges or Unauthorized Charges: Cases where billing errors or unauthorized transactions caused financial harm, such as overdraft fees or late fees.
Warranty Claims: Disputes involving defective products under warranty that result in additional expenses or loss of use, like a broken appliance disrupting your daily routine.
Service Failures: Situations where a company failed to deliver agreed-upon services, causing inconvenience, financial loss, or missed opportunities—for example, a canceled service appointment leading to out-of-pocket costs.
Misleading Practices: Cases involving false advertising or unfulfilled promotional offers that led to financial loss or frustration, such as purchasing a product based on inaccurate claims.
Emotional Harm: Situations where a company’s negligence or misconduct caused significant embarrassment, humiliation, or distress, such as public accusations or breaches of privacy.
Hiring a lawyer can be expensive and is often not an option for smaller disputes. Most attorneys won’t take cases unless they involve significant monetary value, as their fees may outweigh the potential compensation. Additionally, cases involving refunds, warranties, or minor disputes are typically not handled by lawyers because they fall outside the scope of traditional legal representation.
That’s where I Got Checked comes in. We empower you to advocate for yourself using proven strategies, clear templates, and actionable advice—all without the high costs of legal representation. For many cases, our tools are sufficient to resolve disputes quickly and effectively. However, for complex legal matters or cases involving significant damages, consulting an attorney is always recommended.
