A mediator works with both sides
California Courts describes mediation as a process in which an impartial person helps the parties try to reach a mutually acceptable solution. The mediator’s role is not to serve as one side’s collection agent or to decide the dispute like a judge.
Keep roles clear
Someone pursuing their own payment claim is a participant in that disagreement. Organizing that participant’s records or formatting their correspondence does not turn the person or a related website into a neutral third-party mediator. Accurate descriptions of roles help avoid confusion.
Find the appropriate resource
The court’s guidance on options after requesting money points readers toward mediation information when parties do not agree. Whether mediation is suitable, available, or subject to particular requirements depends on the situation and program. Check the relevant provider’s terms directly.
Time & Human does not offer mediation, arbitration, negotiation, or dispute resolution. Its clerical services and these general articles do not create a neutral role, a professional credential, or a promise of settlement.
