Write a short factual timeline, identify the seller and requested remedy, preserve invoices, payment, ads, warranty, messages and product evidence, then use the responsible complaint channel.
Why this matters

The decision point most applicants miss

Avoid risky shortcuts
Do not submit fake ownership, copied designs, false labels, hidden partners, altered inspection records, or payments to anyone promising guaranteed approval outside the official process.
