17.2 Referral to the Ombudsman is possible from the contact details below :

https://mediateur.fcd.fr/reclamation/

 

Consumer mediation refers to an out-of-court dispute resolution process, whereby a consumer and a trader attempt to reach an agreement to amicably resolve a dispute between them, with the help of a third party, the mediator. In the absence of an amicable agreement between the parties, the mediator proposes a solution to settle the dispute.

 

It is therefore an alternative to the often lengthy and costly legal action. The consumer nevertheless retains the possibility of referring the matter to the judge if the mediation is not successful.


IMPORTANT: The referral to the Mediator must be made within one year of the consumer's written complaint to the professional. 
This referral can only be made in the event of a negative response or no response from the professional after 60 days.
