Consumers who wish to undertake a settlement process through Parle consommation must first contact the Office de la protection du consommateur. If they satisfy the terms and conditions of use, an officer from the Office will email them a link to the platform as well as information to assist them in the process. For the time being, this tool is available in French only. If you are not comfortable using this tool, but you meet the terms and conditions of use to access Parle consommation, you can be assisted by an acquaintance, friend or relative, other than an attorney, to complete the process. You must first fill out an assistance mandate.
