| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | 9 V.S.A. § 4461 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour programme takes an Online Wage Claim Form, and the department keeps a Wage and Hour contact line beside it for questions before you file.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Consumer Assistance Program takes the complaint — it is run by the Attorney General's office with the University of Vermont, and it is free. Vermont's collection rules live in the Consumer Protection Act and the Attorney General's own consumer protection rules rather than in a standalone collection statute.↗ | — |
| 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 Civil Rights Unit of 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 | — | 12 V.S.A. § 512(4) |
