Businesses must give you written documents in Spanish if you negotiated the agreement in Spanish. This does not apply to any document that you will receive at a later date.

You can file a complaint about businesses in New York City that fail to provide written translation of documents for an agreement made in Spanish.

What Happens Next

If you provide an email address with your Service Request, you will receive a notification by email. You may also be emailed a complaint form, which you must complete and return. Be sure to check your spam folder in addition to your inbox.

The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection can help you with complaints about businesses in New York City. For complaints about businesses elsewhere, contact the local Consumer Affairs office or the State Attorney General's office.
