| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | 41 O.S. § 115 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Department of Labor takes a wage claim once your wages are actually late, and Oklahoma defines late precisely: pay dates must fall within 11 days of the end of a pay period, and the employer gets 3 more days — 72 hours — after the scheduled pay date to pay. Past that window the right to file opens.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit takes the complaint, and its process is written down: a consumer specialist reviews it and forwards it to the business named, which has 10 days to respond. If the business responds, the office sends you the response for further comment. That written mediation resolves a good share of complaints, and it costs nothing.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days rather than the 180 most national articles print, and the reason is the Office of Civil Rights Enforcement at the Attorney General's Office: the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) turns on whether a state agency has authority over the same conduct, and here one does. That office takes the charge and it costs nothing. It also sets a filing deadline of its own, and in a dozen states that one is shorter than the federal window — ask the office for its date rather than counting on the 300.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | 23 O.S. § 95(A)(3) |
