Mediation in Financial Matters

Mediation in a Financial Matter

Dealing with disagreements that involve money can be difficult. Instead of going to small claims or handling the matter through the court system, you can consider mediation.

Please go to the Alternative Dispute Resolution section of this website for more information about mediation and CDRC.

Community Dispute Resolution Centers (CDRC) have mediators who can help you with problems such as:

  • Car and equipment loans
  • Unpaid bills
  • Third party loans
  • Damaged property
  • Concerns about the quality of repairs or other services

Yes. They can help with matters that involve:

  • Consumers or merchants
  • Friends, family members, acquaintances, or neighbors

CDRCs are funded by NYS Unified Court System to provide free or low-cost services.
