| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | Idaho Code § 6-321 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Department of Labor takes a wage claim online for wages due and not paid, on the same complaints page as its workforce complaints. It says plainly that where it is not authorised to handle a complaint it will refer it to the agency that is. Idaho sets no overtime rule of its own, so the overtime itself is the federal claim above.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Department of Finance licenses collection agencies under the Idaho Collection Agency Act and takes the complaint. This is a financial regulator rather than an attorney general, and the difference is the licence: a collector operating in Idaho without one is committing a separate violation from whatever it did to you, and that is worth naming when you file.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days rather than 180, because the Idaho Human Rights Commission takes charges of the same kind — the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) turns on nothing else. Idaho Code § 67-5907 gives you one (1) year to file the state complaint under oath, which is longer than the federal window and not a substitute for it. The state claim outlives the federal one here, so do not let the 300 days go by on the assumption that the longer number covers both.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | Idaho Code § 5-219(4) |
