Organizing your community to bring public attention to builder’s bad deeds and seeking assistance from local, state and federal elected officials has proven to be more effective and much quicker for thousands of families. You do have choices and alternatives.  Janet Ahmad

ATTENTION! Arbitration Stories

ATTENTION!

HOBB is in need of Binding Arbitration Stories.  A report on Arbitration is currently being prepared and we need to hear about your experience.  Even if you decided not to go to arbitration for any reason or have sent your arbitration experience before please send it again, with any updates and additional comments.  Specifically, we are looking for stories that reflect one or more of the following: 

 

  • You were unaware of the mandatory binding arbitration clause until the dispute arose.
  • You could not afford the costs of arbitration, and therefore, did not pursue the dispute. 
  • You decided not to pursue a legal dispute against your builder after learning the negative results for homeowners in Arbitration and that builders most often win in Binding Mandatory Arbitration (BMA). 
  • You decided not to pursue BMA because you learned the arbiters’ decision is binding and cannot be appealed. 
  • The decision rendered by the arbitrator was unconscionable, clearly contrary to the law, and/or went against the general notion of justice. 
  • Your arbitration appeal to the court was denied despite the arbitrator’s unconscionable and/or unfair decision. 
  •  Stories that involve the use of mandatory binding arbitration agreements in automobile sale/lease contracts.  

Please write a brief account of your situation include your contact information and your address. 

This is a very important time in our efforts to rid consumers of forced arbitration in nearly all aspects of our lives, especially builder contracts.  So please let us hear your story.
