How to File a Dispute

When to submit a dispute

Before submitting a dispute to FMOS, the complainant must first file a formal complaint against our Member.

If you are dissatisfied with the final decision by the Member regarding your complaint, you may then submit your dispute with FMOS:

  • within 6 months from the date of receiving the Member’s final decision; or
  • if the Member fails to respond within 60 days from the date the dispute was first submitted to the Member concerned.
