Customer service is as bad as the company your filing arbitration with
Fairshake's customer service is as bad as Airbnb who still owes me thousands of dollars!!! Apparently Fairshake filed for arbitration (don't remember getting emails saying this) and supposedly AAA emailed me asking to pay the fee. I didn't ever get that email to pay the fee, so when AAA didn't get their fee they closed the case within 7 days. Fairshake site still says "escalated and pending arbitration." Despite the case being dismissed on Monday, on Thursday night its still showing pending on Fairshake website. On Monday when I did get an email from AAAA about the case being closed, I tried to talk to anyone from AAA or Fairshake. I didn't hear back from either of them until Thursday. Even then, I only get email messages/texts back from Fairshake and a different person each time. They were not there when I needed them and unknowable when I needed it. Fairhsake might help you file documents and get some kind of results, but they have just as bad, or worse, customer service than the company you are starting this process with. But, like the company you're starting arbitration with, just close the case and open a new one with this poor customer service company. Don't waste time trying to talk to someone or have them resolve or change anything for you. Just start a new case. Which is why I gave them 2 stars. Because at least it is easy to just file for arbitration on anything a company tries to give you the run around with. I file a dispute now for whenever I'm told "I'm sorry for your frustration" or "I understand why you feel that way," instead of actually resolving my issue. Plus, it is semi educational to go through the process so when I have a more problems with Fairshake it will be easy to take them to arbitration.
