Answers to the most common questions

For consumers

Is filing a case free?
Yes — filing cases and using the platform is completely free for consumers. No hidden fees.
What happens after I submit?
Your case goes directly to the company in private — no one else sees it at first. The company gets a notification and has 72 hours to respond. You're notified as soon as there's a reply.
Will my case go public immediately?
No. Every case starts private between you and the company. Public posting is optional, and only happens if: (1) you request it yourself after the response window expires without resolution, (2) both you and the company consent to publish the outcome as a case study.
Can I withdraw my case?
Yes, anytime. "Withdraw case" button on the case page. It is deleted and no longer visible.
What if the company doesn't respond?
After 72h with no reply you can: (1) grant extra time, (2) request public posting (moderated before publishing), (3) withdraw the case.
What content is rejected?
Cases with personal insults, sensitive personal data, baseless claims, hate speech, or content unrelated to a consumer experience. All content is moderated before public posting.
Can I attach photos or videos?
Yes — up to 5 files (images / videos / PDFs / invoices). Stored securely and never revealed publicly unless the case is published.
How do I mark a case resolved?
After the company replies and applies a solution, click "Resolved" on your case page. You can add a rating. The case is archived and the company sees they closed it successfully.

For companies

How do we register our company?
Go to the company registration page — free. After verifying the business email and representative identity, your account is active.
Is brand membership paid?
Currently free for all companies. We'll announce paid plans later, but your current free membership will not be revoked.
What if we think a case is misleading?
Review request via info@ashkoo.com with arguments and evidence. The review team handles it within 48 hours. If the claim lacks factual basis, we remove the content.
Can our company publish a public reply?
Yes. If a case is published, your official reply appears on the same page with equal prominence.
