Introduction to non-reimbursement
The lack of reimbursement can relate to different situations, such as an undelivered online purchase or a flight canceled without a refund. In addition, it may happen that insurance does not reimburse a claim or that a company does not return a deposit paid. In these cases, the consumer has the right to request a refund within a certain period of time, which varies depending on the specific situation. However, companies do not always comply with their obligations and consumers have to fight to get what they are entitled to. Now let’s see when it is possible to report the non-reimbursement and how
to do it.
When is it possible to report the non-reimbursement
Whether you can report a non-reimbursement depends on the specific situation. For example, if it is an online purchase, it is possible to act according to European legislation on distance sales. In the case of canceled flights, on the other hand, reference can be made to European legislation on passenger rights. In general, it is possible to report non-reimbursement when the company does not comply with its contractual obligations or industry regulations. Before acting, it is advisable to try to resolve the situation out of court, for example by sending a registered letter or by contacting the consumer association. If no response is received or if the response is not satisfactory, a complaint can be filed with the competent authorities

How to report a non-reimbursement
To report the non-reimbursement, it is necessary to submit a report to the competent authorities, for example the Guardia di Finanza or the Antitrust. Before doing so, it’s important to gather all the evidence to support your claim for reimbursement, such as documents, emails, telephone conversations, and payment receipts. The complaint must be submitted in writing, preferably by registered letter with return receipt, and must contain all the information necessary to identify the company and the specific situation.

If the complaint is accepted, the company is required to return the amount due to the consumer within a specified period of time. Otherwise, you may decide to take legal action, for example through a court action. In any case, it is important to keep track of all communications and actions taken to obtain reimbursement
