Department of Consumer Affairs Highlights Mediation Efforts

Consumers help drive a California economy that ranks as the world's sixth largest. But what can a consumer do if a good deal goes bad? For thousands of California consumers, the answer is the Department of Consumer Affairs' Complaint Mediation Program or similar programs statewide.

To showcase the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) Complaint Mediation Program and other complaint resolution programs, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has designated March 19-25 as "California Mediation Week." DCA is highlighting Mediation Week with local outreach events throughout the state.

Maybe a repair shop didn't fix a customer's TV or computer correctly. Perhaps their last visit for vehicle service didn't have the results they expected, or they didn't receive every piece of upholstered furniture they ordered. In cases like these, the California Department of Consumer Affairs' Complaint Mediation Program tries to help consumers and businesses resolve their disagreement.

Mediation programs provide the forum and trained staff to try and make this happen," said Consumer Affairs Director Charlene Zettel. Read more at dca.ca.gov

Both parties have an equal say in the process. They decide the terms of the settlement and the mediator negotiates what they want. Neither party is determined guilty or innocent.
