⚠ Important: CLRA 30-Day Notice Requirement
Before filing a lawsuit under the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), you MUST send a written demand letter to the business at least 30 days before filing suit. This notice must specify the alleged violations and demand correction. If the business corrects the problem within 30 days, you cannot sue for damages (only injunctive relief). Our generator creates this required pre-suit notice for you.
