How to Make the Altice Mobile Corporate Office Listen

It is really easy to feel like you are David trying to take on Goliath especially when a company that you’ve done business with doesn’t live up to their promises.

This is especially true if the mobile provider you use makes a mistake that costs you money. Sometimes, you rely upon that service which means if you don’t pay the bill, even if it wasn’t your fault, you no longer have cell service and that’s simply not something you can do. Worse still is that usually your contracts require immediate payment forcing you to rectify the problem and proof that the mistake wasn’t yours after the fact.

Phone calls with customer service is a dead end because we simply don’t have the power to make a decision and fix the problem. Email complaints are even shorter dead end with no proof that anyone with any power has read them. A request to speak with someone who has the power to make a change and takes too long or be ignored entirely. Worse is when they tell you that they’re going to fix things but they don’t follow through leaving you to start the process over, and over, and over again.

So what can you do other than feel like someone who is truly taken advantage of?

Use Arbitration to Settle Your Complaint with Altice Mobile

When you do business with big companies can leave you feeling powerless and frustrated trying to get your problem solved. It’s made worse by the fact that most companies include a forced arbitration clause in their contract which actually prevents you from pursuing most legal Solutions like suing them. Limited choices in mobile phone providers Force many of us to do business with companies that we already know have bad customer service standards and are very difficult to get a hold of when things go wrong. And even if you have other choices in your area, you might be locked in by a contract and unable to break it.

Arbitration helps you to get a satisfactory solution for your complaint with Altice Mobile without having to sue them. When you request arbitration, an independent arbitrator is appointed to the case which means the company has to do a lot more work to present the facts to the arbitrator and they lose control over the outcome because it’s the arbitrator who reviews all the information and makes an impartial and binding decision.

Arbitration is Just, Fair, Reasonable, and Transparent

Arbitrations handled by the American Arbitration Association® is an option which complies with the Statement of Principles of the Consumer Due Process Protocol, which means:

• The process needs to be fundamentally fair for everyone involved, yourself included, and that means everyone should have a fair appointment of an impartial, competent, and qualified arbitrator who conducts fair hearings.
• A reasonable standard is applied to the arbitration which means you all get access to all of the pertinent information, they have to schedule a good time for the hearing, pick a good location, and provide it at an affordable cost.
• The transparency standard means the arbitration agreements have to be clear, easy to understand, nothing too complicated or legally convoluted. They also need to include all the necessary information and provide you and the other party with the ability to hire representation.
• An alternative to arbitration, which takes the form of small claims court and, in some cases, mediation, has to be available to you, if you choose it.
• The process should be just, fair, and allow the arbitrator to award you the same outcome you could get in the courtroom, an award which is a legally binding decision.
