Impact: The Alternative Dispute Resolution process
Joining the DRO scheme has not resulted in any significant changes being made to reallymoving’s Code of Practice.
We always ensure companies have a fair opportunity to put things right with their own customer themselves first. We will only proceed when the consumer and company have had opportunity to engage directly. A consumer can raise a dispute if they have been referred to us by reallymoving, or if their dispute exceeds eight weeks.
We will first seek to mediate a mutually acceptable outcome during the conciliation phase. If no agreement can be reached, we will proceed to adjudication. Our qualified ADR experts will make an impartial decision that is binding on the participating company. This may be in favour of the company, the consumer or a split decision.
Reallymoving will gain access to our market-leading Case Management System, through which participating companies’ cases will be managed. Reallymoving will refer unresolved disputes to DRO on your behalf, and our team will then contact you directly.
Adjudications need to be funnelled through reallymoving.com and are only available to movers who received removals quotes from reallymoving.com.
