Another day.
Another blank inbox.
Another morning without a regulator’s reply.
For harmed consumers, especially those of retirement age, the worst feeling isn’t the initial loss. It’s what follows: the silence that lasts longer than it should.
The Problem Is No Longer Just the Platform
When a financial platform lies, misleads, or refuses to provide records, that’s the first harm.
But when regulators delay despite knowing the facts, the harm doubles.
Not in theory, in impact:
- Time-sensitive tax deadlines loom.
- Medical and housing decisions hang in limbo.
- Each day without records compounds financial instability.
What started as corporate misconduct becomes state-enabled erosion.
What Regulatory Silence Signals
In early January, after a full holiday buffer, silence is no longer procedural.
It becomes a signal:
- That delay is being tolerated
- That vulnerability is being deprioritized
- That the cost of inaction is being shifted back onto the victims
This is not acceptable.
What Victims Deserve Now
Retirement-age investors who reported harm in 2025 are not asking for special treatment.
They’re asking for timely response to clear violations:
- False APR advertising
- Record refusal
- Offshore deflection
- Senior financial harm
Regulators have the tools. They’ve had the evidence.
Now, they need to act.
The Takeaway
Silence can be temporary.
But when it follows clarity, documentation, and urgency, it stops being neutral.
It becomes complicity.
Time is not just ticking.
It’s judging.
