Alternative Options to Consider When Filing a Complaint Against Harrods
The more customers a retailer has, the more chances there are for those customers to have issues with the company. This multiplies the chances of those customers filing complaints that have the power to cast a dark shadow on the company.
With customers buying online more than ever before, new procedures were needed to address a new breed of complaints.
ADR Schemes
In a June 2015 Policy Paper we can see how the government has bolstered the idea of using ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolutions) Schemes to settle the differences between customers and the companies where they frequently buy products, goods, and services.
The recommendation of this particular paper was to implement two distinct alternatives for reviewing customer complaints. They are;
- Mediation. This allows for a third party to assist the other two in reaching a mutually beneficial solution.
- Arbitration. An Arbitrator handles complaints much like a judge in a court of law. Their decision is final and most times binding to one party as to what their course of action will be in settling the complaint issue.
Here are some of the industries where ADR Schemes have been utilized with great success;
- Financial Services
- Energy
- Telecommunications
If mediation or arbitration has not rendered you any solutions to your complaint, it might be in your best interest to have an Ombudsman listen to your problem.
The Ombudsman Alternative Dispute Resolution
An Ombudsman is an independent third party that listens to complaints and he or she is an impartial person that has to be appointed to look into matters involving corporate giants like Harrods. Hopefully, you can solve your issues without having to take them to the Ombudsman.
Most Ombudsmen have websites where you can find their requirements for providing them with the data concerning your issue.
An Ombudsman serves companies in both industrial segments, public and private.
The public sector includes;
- Parliament
- Government
- Housing
- Prison Systems
- Probation
The private sector includes;
- Energy
- Communication
- Railways
- Financial Services
- Property
- Pensions
