JMKT – Trading Standards Consultants have years of experience in dealing with complaints and negotiating settlements. We can help by giving prompt and simple advice about your legal rights and obligations. We can advise you whether you are legally obliged to settle claims or are entitled to tell complainants that they don’t have a case.
We can also take complaints off your hands and negotiate directly with the customer. We will gather all the information needed to make a proper decision that will put you on the legal high ground.
For the more difficult customers who simply won’t pay, JMKT- Trading Standards Consultants can draft the pre-court letters required to make your intentions clear and if necessary start small claims court proceedings on your behalf. Should the matter does go to court, you can show that you have been reasonable and that the customer has had the opportunity to resolve the issue.
