How We Can Help You

We are mandated to mediate disputes and ensure that industry players abide by the Consumer Goods and Services Industry Code of Conduct.

If you have lodged a complaint with a supplier and the complaint has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you can escalate your complaint to the CGSO. We give the supplier the opportunity to resolve the complaint, failing which we help the parties to reach an agreed settlement.

The CGSO is obligated to enforce the Consumer Goods and Services Industry Code of Conduct by:

  • Receiving and dealing with complaints and disputes by a consumer relating to its Code of conduct or the Consumer Protection Act FREE of charge.
  • Attempting to facilitate a settlement between the parties.
  • Addressing each complaint in an unbiased manner.
  • Making recommendations as to how the dispute should be settled.
