Metro Corporate Office

It’s easy to feel like David fighting Goliath when a company you’ve done business with doesn’t live up to their promises.

This is especially true when they make a mistake that costs you money. And sometimes you need the service they provide and if you don’t pay the bill, even if it is wrong, they will cut off your service.

Phone calls with employees who don’t have any power waste your time. Email complaints seem to go into a black hole, giving you no evidence they were sent and frequently not receiving an adequate response. Requests to speak to someone with authority at the corporate office can be ignored or take too long.

Or, they tell you they’ll make things right and don’t follow through, leaving you to begin the frustrating process all over again.

What can you do other than feel like a chump who was taken advantage of?

Use arbitration to settle your complaint with Metro

Doing business with companies that leave you feeling powerless is frustrating.

Most companies include forced arbitration clauses in their contracts to prevent you from taking them to court.

Limited choices in our cable, internet, and cell phone service providers force many of us to do business with companies who have low customer service standards and unresponsive staff at their headquarters. Even when we have a choice, we may be locked in by a contract.

Arbitration helps you get a satisfactory solution for your complaint against Metro by T-Mobile without having to sue the company.

When you request arbitration, the company has to do a lot of work and they lose control of the outcome. During arbitration, an independent individual (the arbitrator) is appointed who is familiar with the type of situation involved. The arbitrator has to be impartial. The arbitrator looks at the facts presented by both sides and makes a binding decision.

Arbitration is fair, just, reasonable, and transparent

Arbitrations handled by the American Arbitration Association® comply with the Statement of Principles of the Consumer Due Process Protocol which means:

The process must be fundamentally fair to all parties including the appointment of impartial, competent, and qualified arbitrators who conduct fair hearings.
A reasonable standard is applied to the arbitration process including the standards for access to relevant information, timing and location of the arbitration, and cost.
The transparency standard requires clear arbitration agreements that include all the necessary information and give each party the ability to hire their own representation.
An alternative to arbitration, in the form of small claims court and, in some cases, mediation, should be available.
The process should be just and allow the arbitrator to award the same relief that would be available in a court of law in a binding decision.

Arbitration gives you leverage

When you put a company like Metro by T-Mobile on notice that you are going to pursue arbitration, they know they are going to be required to pay expenses out of pocket. What’s more, they may lose and have to give you what you are asking for on top of the expenses they pay for the arbitration process. Once the company knows they are going to incur an expense, they become more willing to meet your demands if your demands are reasonable.

If Metro by T-Mobile doesn’t meet your demands, you can get a reasonable, fair, transparent, and just hearing without spending any money by using FairShake to help you file for arbitration. Our help doesn’t cost you anything unless you win.

You don’t want to bring a nuisance case because you could be held responsible for the company’s costs if the arbitrator believes the case is frivolous. But if you have a real complaint, you shouldn’t have to worry about the possibility of having to pay the company’s costs.

Leverage leads to faster settlements

Once you begin the arbitration process, the company loses the advantage. You are on an equal footing with the company because the neutral arbitrator will view both sides of the issue without bias. The first step to give you the leverage you need to resolve your complaint is for you to formally raise your problem with Metro by T-Mobile.

And FairShake helps you do so. We will send a demand letter to Metro by T-Mobile corporate offices to start the clock on them to resolve your case before you can file arbitration (usually 30 days but this depends on the length of time required by the arbitration clause in your contract).

In about half the cases, the company’s headquarters makes an acceptable settlement offer during this period and the matter is resolved without going to arbitration. If they do not offer you a reasonable settlement during this period, the next step is to file the case with the American Arbitration Association. FairShake will put together the official arbitration paperwork for you, and help you take the next steps.

Attorney optional

If your case reaches arbitration, you might consider whether to hire an attorney. In legal terms an individual without an attorney is bringing their claim “pro se.” If you decide to move forward without an attorney, you’ll want to read the information available from The American Arbitration Association’s Pro Se Case Administration Team.

Certain common complaints fall under specific laws that make possible compensation awards particularly high. For some types of complaints, like those involving robocalls or improper debt collection attempts, the assistance of an attorney can help you maximize the value of those claims.
