To use the European Platform for Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) / http://ec.europa.eu/odr / – a single access portal that allows users and merchants in the EU to settle their disputes related to cross-border online purchases, and also with national ones.
To submit an application for mediation directly to the CPC with a request for the formation of a common conciliation commission. Information on the types of conciliation commissions and the steps to form a conciliation commission. https://kzp.bg/pomiritelna-komisiya.
