Though the Act does not prescribe any such notice but as a measure of abundant caution and to avoid future complications one should send a notice. However at the same time non service of such notice is not damaging for the merit of the case either.

It is always advisable to send notice by the complainant to the party concerned it is then the course of action arises and burden falls on the party.

Issuing a legal notice in consumer case is an unwritten law. You go to a court or a forum for justice only after you approach the party for redressing his grievance and the party refuses to do so. Here also, a consumer has to inform the party of his deficiency in service and make good the same with without compensation. If he does not, then one can go to the consumer court.

In this respect, issuing a legal notice or a formal notice by the sufferer himself is mandatory.

It is better you first ask the service provider to either rectify the error or refund the amounts by sending the notice. If he did not respond properly, it will made out a better case for you.
