Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle

Dear Allegro Trans FYI: normally, when just a term is given, one can assume that a general term is required. We do not need the Spanish inquisition for such a task as it won't help in identifying what is requested - at least in this instance.
The source term is pretty awkward imho and it is not in the Proz glossary yet. Hence reason enough to add it somehow. Also I was asking for a wider variety of terms in this instance to help other people who may look for something similar. I see though you are not firm with the topic of dispute settlement and arbitration boards, so why do you even bother replying? Next time just keep that negativity to yourself please. I am looking for productive responses.

produce unreliable answers
Asker hasn't told us at what "level" (international/national/regional/local/within an organisation etc.) this body is being referred to, or which German-speaking country it is from, or given us (as asked by ProZ) a complete sentence containing the term

It takes 5 seconds to get to this when searching for "customer complaint":
https://www.usa.gov/consumer-complaints

Says right there: "Dispute Resolution Programs"

I don't believe you call it a board in this case.

Best

Ah, just saw your amendment Thomas ... actually I am looking for a general term..
If you know of US specific equivalents just spill them out... as much as one thing may be less relevant than another , who knows.
This is as much for my own purposes but also to help others - there is no entry for the word in the glossary yet. Also I believe there may be several words for such an institution.
You or anyone who is interested may have a look at this one here:

And here are institutions EU wide : https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/?event=main.adr.show...

Hahaha ok, challenge accepted ... send some my way then writeaway!

I was hoping for some other terms like consumer omnbudsman etc.etc. as the source term is so clonky.... variety is always good and wanted.

Hi,
My suggestion: consumer arbitration board

For dispute settlement, what else? :))

What for?

[Added for clarification:] What do you need it for? What do you want to say? Is your text specifically about the German Verbraucherschluchtenschwelle, do you need an equivalent in New South Wales or Arizona, or do you need a term to generally cover all sorts of dispute settlement bodies? Are you writing for Verbraucherschlichtungsstellenfachgebietsexperten or the general public? In other words: What's the context?
