Full transcript
Before we start the complaint form, can you tell me exactly what went wrong with the electrical work at your house in Wollongong?
Він перероблював проводку у двох кімнатах, я заплатила тисячу триста п'ятдесят доларів, але половина розеток досі не працює.
Do you still have the original invoice, and have you already tried contacting the electrician about the faulty sockets since the job finished?
Так, ось рахунок. Я телефонувала йому тричі за останній тиждень, але він не бере слухавку і не передзвонює.
If he doesn't respond or fix the problem within a reasonable time, you're entitled to lodge a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading for assistance.
А що буде, якщо він взагалі не відповість навіть після офіційної скарги до Fair Trading?
Fair Trading will first attempt mediation between you and the electrician. If that doesn't resolve things, the matter may then be referred to NCAT for a formal hearing.
А скільки часу зазвичай чекають, поки NCAT призначить дату розгляду такої справи?
There's no fixed timeframe for NCAT hearings — scheduling depends on the tribunal's current caseload, so I honestly can't promise you an exact date.
Зрозуміло. Тоді які документи мені варто зібрати перед тим, як подавати офіційну скаргу?
Please bring the invoice, clear photos of the faulty sockets, and copies of any text messages or emails between you and the electrician.
Дякую, я зберу всі документи і подам скаргу до кінця цього тижня.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
