How to Respond to Each Red Flag Politely

  • 'Could you please put that in the quotation?'
  • 'I would like to visit one of your installations first.'
  • 'I will pay in milestones as per the schedule.'
  • 'Please share the registration details so I can verify them.'
  • 'I will decide after comparing two other quotes.'

If You Have Already Paid

Collect your receipts and documents, write to the company asking for the missing items, and keep copies of all messages. If the company is unresponsive and the subsidy or installation is at risk, check the portal and consider consumer protection channels. Prevention is easier, which is why these red flags matter before payment.
