Firstly, apologies if this has been covered before. I did a search and couldn't find a thread on this.
My query relates to the experience of those who have gone through a mediation process with banks and the FSO. What I'd really like to know is:
- How did you find the process overall?
- Was there anything that surprised you?
- If someone was preparing for the process, is there anything specific that he should do?
- What was the attitude of the bank (did they play hard-ball or were the more conciliatory? did they engage in brinkmanship? threaten to abandon the talks, etc.)
- How well was the meeting facilitated/mediated?
- How long did it last?
- Was it stressful?
- Did you go alone (with your spouse/partner) or did you have a professional advisor present?
- How legalistic does it get?
- Basically - any general advice would be appreciated.
The reason for asking all these questions is that it seems to me that the banks are very familiar with the process whereas the poor client is in a very unfamiliar environment and it would be good if clients could share their experiences for their common good.
